Short Ribs

Polenta

Method

Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Brown the Short Ribs

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids and Herbs

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, then add bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  6. 6

    Finish and Shred Meat

    Once cooked, remove the short ribs from the pot and shred the meat using two forks. Discard the bones and bay leaves.

Polenta

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt.

  2. 8

    Cook Polenta

    Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.

  3. 9

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the polenta is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the butter and Gorgonzola dolce cheese until melted and creamy.
