Short Rib

Burrata Topping

Method

Preparing the Short Rib

  1. 1

    Sear the Short Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the short ribs and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Broth and Herbs

    Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Braise the Short Ribs

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone. Check occasionally and add water if necessary.

Preparing the Burrata Topping

  1. 6

    Prepare the Burrata

    While the short ribs are braising, prepare the burrata topping. In a small bowl, drizzle the burrata with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the short ribs are done braising, remove them from the pot and shred the meat. Serve the shredded short rib on a plate, topped with burrata and fresh basil leaves.
