Method

Preparing the Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Searing the Meat

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove short ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Deglazing

    In the same pot, add the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braising the Ribs

    Add the beef broth and fresh thyme to the wine. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Preparing the Puree and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Roasting Garlic

    While the ribs are braising, wrap the head of garlic in foil and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until soft.

  2. 5

    Making Potato Puree

    Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot and mash together until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil to taste.

  3. 6

    Preparing Beets and Onions

    Boil the rainbow beets until tender, about 30 minutes. Peel and slice. In a separate skillet, sauté the pearl onions in a bit of olive oil until caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Plating

    Serve the braised short ribs over a bed of potato puree, topped with sliced rainbow beets and caramelized pearl onions. Drizzle with any remaining braising liquid if desired.
