Method

Beef Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef short ribs all over with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

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

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquid and Simmer

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Add beef broth, chipotle peppers, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

Herb Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    While the ribs are cooking, wash the fingerling potatoes and slice them in half lengthwise.

  2. 7

    Season Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Roast Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Slow Roasted Cherry Tomato Salsa

  1. 9

    Roast Tomatoes

    In a bowl, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet.

  2. 10

    Bake Tomatoes

    Roast in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 1 hour until they are softened and slightly caramelized.

  3. 11

    Add Finishing Touches

    Once roasted, remove from oven and mix in chopped basil and balsamic vinegar. Set aside.

Piquillo Crema

  1. 12

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine roasted piquillo peppers, sour cream, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.

  2. 13

    Season to Taste

    Taste the crema and add salt as needed. Blend again to incorporate.

Assembly

  1. 14

    Plate the Dish

    On a large serving plate, place a generous portion of the chipotle beef short ribs, alongside the herb roasted fingerling potatoes.

  2. 15

    Add Salsa and Crema

    Top the ribs with the slow roasted cherry tomato salsa and drizzle with piquillo crema.

  3. 16

    Garnish

    Finally, garnish with shaved scallions for a fresh touch.
