GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
• Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
• Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the short ribs to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste. When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn. Reduce the mixture by half.
• Return the short ribs to the pan and add 2 cups water or until the water has just about covered the meat. Add the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Check periodically during the cooking process and add more water, if needed. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Serve with the braising liquid.

BRAISED ORANGE-GINGER SHORT RIBS WITH DRIED APRICOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Using vegetable peeler, remove four 4x1-inch strips from rind of 1 orange. Grate peel from 2 more oranges. Cut 4 oranges in half; squeeze out 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk grated orange peel, orange juice, hoisin sauce, tomato paste, and garlic in large bowl to blend. Stir in ginger.
• Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Place in heavy large ovenproof pot. Pour orange-ginger mixture over ribs. Stir in orange strips and apricots. Cover and bake 2 hours. Stir rib mixture; reduce oven temperature to 250°F. Continue cooking ribs, covered, until meat is very tender, about 1 hour longer. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Spoon off solidified fat, then rewarm ribs over medium heat before serving.) Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs and apricots to large platter. Spoon off any fat from sauce in pot. Pour sauce over ribs. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH ORANGE GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle ribs with 1/2 tsp of the salt and all the pepper. In a 4 to 5 quart ovenproof pot, brown ribs on all sides in hot oil over medium high heat. Set ribs aside; discard all but 1 TB drippings from pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots and garlic to pot; cook and stir about 10 minutes or until carrots are just tender.
• Return the ribs to the pot. Add broth, wine, thyme, bay leaf and remaining 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Over pot; transfer to oven. Bake for 2 hours or until meat is very tender, adding frozen onions during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Transfer ribs to a large, deep serving platter; cover and keep warm. Skim fat from cooking liquid; discard bay leaf and any bones that have fallen off ribs. If cooking liquid is too thin to serve as a sauce, bring to boiling and cook uncovered for 5 minutes to reduce slightly to about 2 1/2 cups. Whisk in mustard and horseradish. Pour sauce over ribs.
• To make orange gremolata combine two tablespoons snipped fresh italian parsley; 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tsp finely shredded orange peel. Top the ribs with the orange gremolata.
