Braised Short Ribs

Pecorino Potato Croquettes

Grilled Broccolini

Guinness Demi-Glace

Method

Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the beef broth and Guinness beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

  5. 5

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot along with bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

Pecorino Potato Croquettes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Mash the potatoes and mix in the grated Pecorino cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 8

    Form the Croquettes

    Shape the potato mixture into small balls or patties.

  4. 9

    Coat the Croquettes

    Dredge each croquette in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with bread crumbs.

  5. 10

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Grilled Broccolini

  1. 11

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss the broccolini with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 12

    Grill the Broccolini

    Grill the broccolini for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Guinness Demi-Glace

  1. 13

    Prepare the Demi-Glace

    In a saucepan, combine beef stock and Guinness beer. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the mixture by half, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 14

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in butter, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
