Short Ribs

Creamy Polenta

Roasted Carrots

Horseradish Sauce

Method

Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any brown bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the short ribs to the pot and bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Cook the Ribs

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

Creamy Polenta

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil.

  2. 8

    Add Polenta

    Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

  3. 9

    Cook Polenta

    Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes, or until thickened.

  4. 10

    Finish with Butter and Cheese

    Stir in the butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt until well combined and creamy.

Roasted Carrots

  1. 11

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 12

    Prepare Carrots

    Peel the carrots and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 13

    Season Carrots

    Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs. Toss to coat.

  4. 14

    Roast Carrots

    Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through.

Horseradish Sauce

  1. 15

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine prepared horseradish, sour cream, lemon juice, and salt.

  2. 16

    Chill

    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
