Best Stout Braised Short Ribs Recipes

STOUT-BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH HORSERADISH & CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 2. Heat the oil in a casserole dish and brown the short ribs well on all sides - this will take about 10 mins. Remove the ribs to a plate, then fry the onion and celery in the dish for 5 mins. Stir in the herbs and flour, and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the sugar, stout and stock, and bring to a simmer. Add the horseradish cream and some seasoning, then nestle the ribs into the sauce. Cover the pan and cook in the oven for 1 hr.
• Peel the carrots, keeping them whole. Remove the stew from the oven, stir gently and add the carrots. Cover and return to the oven for 2 hrs more until the ribs are tender. You can now serve the stew in a rustic style, as is. Alternatively, gently remove the ribs and carrots to a board. Strain the sauce through a sieve into a saucepan and bring to the boil, skimming off any froth that rises to the surface. Simmer for 5 mins until reduced by a third. Tip the reduced sauce back into the casserole dish, add back the ribs and carrots, and simmer for a few minutes to reheat the meat. Divide between plates and serve.

STOUT BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH BARLEY

Steps:

• Set a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs all over with a generous amount of salt and some pepper (no flour required here!). Add the oil to the pot and brown the short ribs well on each of the 3 meaty sides, about 15 minutes total. Work in batches so as to not overcrowd the pot. You want a deep brown color on the meat as this will give the stew its rich flavor and color when braising. Remove the ribs and set aside.
• Add the carrots, celery and onions to the pot. Saute the vegetables until caramelized and wilted, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and toss to combine and heat through. Return the ribs to the pot and nestle in amongst the vegetables. Add the thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, stout beer, broth and tomatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer the ribs 2 1/2 hours. Periodically skim any excess fat on the surface and discard.
• After 2 1/2 hours, mix in the pearl barley and dry mustard powder, then cover once more and cook 45 more minutes. When done, remove the bay leaf, thyme and rosemary stems. Taste and season the braise with salt and pepper and serve.

Transfer meat to a large plate, then add leeks, carrots, celery, and bay leaves to pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides and sear in batches if needed until brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the pot to a large bowl and set aside.
• Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot if needed. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon. Add the carrots and celery and let cook for another minute or 2.
• Add the Irish stout to the pot and scrape up the bottom of the pot to remove any more browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then add the beef stock and season with salt and pepper.

BEEF SHORT RIBS BRAISED IN STOUT (PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel and set aside. Combine all of the spices in a bowl and shake to mix thoroughly. Rub all sides of the beef ribs with the spice mixture and set aside, uncovered, in the fridge for about an hour (skip the resting period if you lack the time). Take a pressure cooker and set it over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil, and when it's hot and shimmery, add the short ribs and brown for 1 minute per side (watch to make sure the spice mixture doesn't stick and burn). Remove the ribs to a plate, and add another splash of oil to the pot. Throw in your onion/carrot/celery mix, along with the bay leaf. Stir that up and let that cook for about 3 minutes, or until the onion looks softish. Throw the chopped garlic in, give it a stir, and let that go for a minute or two. Add all of your liquids at this time - the beer, the broth, and the tomato sauce, and stir up the bottom of the pot to get all the sticky stuff off and into the goop. Add the ribs to the sauce, turn the heat up, and lock the pressure cooker lid on. Bring the pressure cooker up to pressure, until the excess steam steadily escapes from the valve. Reduce the heat to medium, or to the point where the pressure is maintained, and cook for 40 minutes. Rapid-release the pressure, taste for salt, and serve.

In the same pan over medium heat, cook the onions, carrots, celery and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the stout. Cover and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the meat is very tender, about 6 hours. Transfer the ribs to a large bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Skim the fat off the sauce. Using an immersion blender, puree the sauce until smooth. Transfer the ribs to individual bowls.
