Braised Short Rib

Mushroom Onion Risotto

Beef Demi Glaze

Method

Braised Short Rib

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the boneless 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. Sear the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same Dutch oven, add chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  4. 4

    Deglaze and Braise

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Mushroom Onion Risotto

  1. 5

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until soft. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Toast the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

  3. 7

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 8

    Finish with Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Beef Demi Glaze

  1. 9

    Prepare the Demi Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine beef broth, red wine, and minced shallots. Add thyme and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 10

    Reduce the Sauce

    Let the mixture simmer until reduced by half, which should take about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 11

    Finish with Butter

    Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until the sauce is silky. Season to taste if necessary.
