COFFEE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the lower third position and the other in the upper third position. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the Private Selection® Sumatran Mandheling Medium-Dark Roast Ground Coffee to the bottom of a French press. Pour the boiling water over the grounds. Give the coffee a quick stir, cover with the lid (leaving the plunger up) and let sit for 4 minutes. Press the plunger down all the way to the bottom. Immediately pour the coffee into a heatproof liquid measuring cup and set aside.
• Season the short ribs all over with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add short ribs, (in batches if needed) and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer the short ribs to a plate and discard all but a thin layer of oil.
• Return the Dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the Private Selection® Vidalia Sweet Onion, garlic, and carrots. Cook until the onion is translucent and the carrots have started to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until golden in color, 1 minute more.
• Add the beef broth and use a wooden spatula to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the bay leaves, rosemary, short ribs and any accumulated juices, and 1½ cups of the brewed coffee. Bring to a boil.
• Cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the oven. Cook for about 1½ hours, or until the short ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened.
• Meanwhile, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add potatoes to a prepared baking sheet and toss with 1½ tablespoons Private Selection™ Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and ½ teaspoon salt until well coated. Spread in a single layer, cut side down. On the other prepared baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
• After short ribs have been in the oven for 1 hour, add the potatoes and broccoli to the oven and cook until tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and transfer the short ribs to a platter. Discard the rosemary stems and bay leaves. Let the sauce settle, then skim the fat from the surface and discard. Season the sauce with more salt to taste.
• Divide the potatoes and broccoli between shallow bowls, then top with the short ribs and spoon sauce over top.
• Enjoy!
