Beef Short Rib

Method

Beef Short Rib Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Short Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Braise

    Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer. Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

Wild Mushroom Risotto Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Base

    In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook Arborio Rice

    Add the Arborio rice, stirring to coat. Gradually add the vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Mushrooms and Finish

    Stir in the chopped wild mushrooms, remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve

    Plate the wild mushroom risotto and top with the braised short ribs. Garnish with grated Grana Padano cheese and chopped parsley.
