Best Hoisin And Orange Braised Shortribs Recipes

ORANGE BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS - STOVETOP VERSION

Steps:

• Pre-heat a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. When the oil is hot and almost smoking, season the short ribs with salt and pepper and sear them in batches, until browned on all sides.
• Once the ribs are nicely browned, remove them to a side plate and set aside. Pour off and discard the fat that has accumulated in the pan. Add the onion and celery and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaf and continue to cook for another minute.
• Add the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer and reduce until it has almost entirely disappeared. Add the orange juice and soy sauce and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Return the browned short ribs to the pan, reduce the heat to very low and cover the pan with a well-fitting lid.
• Let the ribs simmer on this very low heat, or cook in the oven at 300˚F for roughly 2 to 3 hours. The meat should be so tender that it falls off the bone. Remove the ribs from the pan and set aside, loosely covered with foil. Increase the heat below the pan and reduce the braising liquid until it has thickened slightly and is almost syrupy like a glaze. Return the ribs to the pan and turn them to coat in this sauce.
• Serve the ribs over smashed potatoes, spoon a little sauce on top and garnish with chives. The sauce can also be strained if you prefer a smooth finish.

ASIAN-STYLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a wide stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the short ribs, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, brown sugar, water, green onion bottoms, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Make sure that the stockpot is deep enough so that the short ribs are submerged in the liquid.
• Bake the short ribs, covered, for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and cover to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Drain the fat off of the cooking liquid and discard. Place the remaining braising juices in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup of the hoisin sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid until only about 1 1/4 cups remain. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer, discarding the solids. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and the lemon juice.
• Return the short ribs and the reduced sauce to the stockpot or Dutch oven, coating the short ribs well with the sauce. Bake for 10 minutes, until the short ribs are heated through and slightly glazed. Serve hot over jasmine rice. Season each portion with the orange zest and garnish with the green onions if desired.

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 HOISIN BEER SHORT RIBS WITH CREAMY MASHED YUKONS AND SESAME SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the rendered fat.
• Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and saute the garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot. Add the beer and the vinegar. Stir and then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Pour the hoisin sauce over the ribs, move the pot to the oven, and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Remove ribs and ginger from sauce. Strain fat from the top of the pot so that you're left with just the good stuff. Serve with Creamy Mashed Yukons and Sesame Snow Peas.
• Boil potatoes until fork tender. Heat the butter and half-and-half over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot and mash with a hand masher. Add hot liquid to potatoes and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add chives and mix before serving.
• Rinse the peas and trim off the ends. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oils and heat. Add snow peas and saute until bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss.
