Best Chipotle Glazed Beef Short Ribs Recipes

SHORT RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE CHERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Short Ribs: Pat the ribs dry and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.
• In a large braising pot, preferably an enameled cast iron Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat. Add the ribs in batches, so as not to crowd. Brown them deeply on each side and when all have been seared, remove them from the pot and add 1/3 of the beer to deglaze. Turn off the heat and scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan.
• Sauce: Strain the fat from the Dutch oven, leaving the juices and return the pot to medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for 2 minutes more, then add both cans of the drained cherries. Bring to a simmer, add the chipotle paste and molasses and adjust seasonings, if needed. Reduce the mixture for 10 minutes at a simmer. At this point you can strain for a more elegant sauce, then add the butter, or just add the butter and leave rustic.
• Put the beef ribs back in the pot, stir to combine with the onions and shallots, and pout in the remaining beer and sherry. Cover and roast, turning the ribs every 40 minutes. After 3 hours, drizzle in the molasses, return the lid and roast for 1 hour more.
• Transfer the ribs and the sauce to a serving dish and serve.

CHIPOTLE-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, onion, garlic, salt and water in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the ribs are tender.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the chipotle glaze. Mix to combine the chipotle chiles, onion flakes, Tabasco, cocoa powder, maple syrup, sugar and salt.
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place in a large deep-sided tray or pan. While the ribs are still hot, rub the chipotle glaze evenly over the ribs to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until cool or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the ribs on wire racks set over 2 rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes, until golden and caramelized. Serve with lime wedges, pickled jalapeño peppers and the Corn and Jalapeño Chile Flatbreads, if desired.
