Best Stout Marinated Short Ribs Recipes

SIMPLE BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour until coated. Shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the ribs until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Return the ribs to the skillet and pour in the beer. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until all of the browned bits have mixed in with the liquid. Pour in the beef stock, cover and simmer over low heat until very tender, about 2 hours.

STOUT-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• 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. Return the meat, along with any juices, to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Cover and braise in the oven until the short ribs are tender and can be shredded easily with a fork, about 2 hours.

Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine, bring to a boil and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the pot.
• Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in the Dutch oven and add the brown sugar and beef stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
