I am not sure if you use a crock pot or not but I am a big fan of slow cooking. I recently came across a recipe that turned out to be one of my best dishes I have made in some time! I thought I would share. I will be making this again this week and will take pictures then.
Braised Short Ribs2 tbs mustard and coarse ground pepper
2 tsp salt
5 lbs of bone in short ribs ( I did 6 ribs from the butcher and I was short, I would do about 7-8 for three people)
3 tbs veg oil
1 mini bottle of bourbon
2 large yellow onions diced
2 big carrots peeled and diced
5 garlic cloves peeled and diced
2 tbs beef demi -glace
3 tbs honey
3 cups of beef stock ( I use a low sodium)
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs chopped fresh parsley
In a small bowl combine, combine mustard, pepper and salt. Rub/brush onto short ribs. Brown ribs in slow cooker if you can or a pan. Remove ribs, add bourbon, stir and simmer about 1 minute while deglazing pan, add 1tbs oil and onions; cook about 7 minutes. Add carrots and garlic cook another 7 minutes (careful not to burn). Add demi-glace, honey, stock, and vinegar; bring to a simmer. Add ribs if done in the slow cooker or put the ribs in the slow cooker and pour over them. Cook on high heat 6 hrs. Transfer ribs to a platter carefully, use a stick blender and puree sauce and vegetables, let this simmer about 10 minutes in the slow cooker. Pour over ribs, garnish with parsley and enjoy. Serve with rice, pasta,mashed. This recipe feeds 3 as is if you are medium eaters, I would do the larger portion if you have any heavy eaters but don't forget to increase the the recipe measurements if you do. Enjoy this is sure to please.
