Method

Braised Beef Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef short ribs 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. Remove from pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Stir in the beef stock, bay leaves, and thyme.

  5. 5

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Cover and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

Creamy Polenta

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt.

  2. 7

    Add Polenta

    Gradually whisk in the polenta and reduce heat to low. Stir frequently until thickened, about 30 minutes.

  3. 8

    Finish the Polenta

    Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Kale & Tomato

  1. 9

    Sauté Kale

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

  2. 10

    Add Kale and Tomatoes

    Add the chopped kale and cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the kale is wilted, about 5-7 minutes.

Teriyaki Bordelaise Demi Glace

  1. 11

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine teriyaki sauce, beef stock, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 12

    Reduce and Thicken

    Simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in butter before serving.
