Braised Short Ribs a Hearty Recipe for Autumn

Braised Short Ribs Fall Recipe

One of the beautiful things about Provence is the changing seasons. In autumn months, the sun takes a longer time to get out of bed and break through the sometimes dense low-level fog. Once the extreme fire risk has lifted, in late September, the farmers are allowed once again to light bonfires. The morning air fills with a light hint of sweet smoke from clippings and dead branches. Evening falls suddenly and early encouraging you to set the table for a warm, hearty meal like this one for braised short ribs.

  • 3 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 large Onion thinly sliced
  • 3 Carrots peeled and cut in thirds
  • 1 cup Dry Red Wine good quality
  • 3 large Garlic Cloves peeled and crushed
  • 8 oz crushed tomatoes

  • 1 tablespoons rosemary chopped
  • 2 Bay Leaves

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Pat the ribs very dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of oil until shimmering.
  • Working in batches, add the ribs to the skillet being careful not to crowd them.
  • Brown the beef on all sides over medium high heat, you want to get a good sear.
  • As they are seared, remove the ribs with a slotted spoon and place them in a single layer in a large oven-proof casserole or baking dish.
  • Saute the onion slices in the skillet until they start to brown.
  • Add the sauteed onions, carrots and bay leaves to the beef ribs.
  • Add the garlic cloves, crushed tomatoes and wine to the pan.
  • Bring to a boil, scraping the bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Pour the heated liquid into the casserole, you should have enough liquid to cover the ribs halfway up.
  • Sprinkle with herbs and parsley.
  • Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and place in pre-heated oven for 3 hours.
  • Allow the ribs to cool in the casserole and refrigerate overnight.
  • 1 hour before serving, pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and skim the hardened fat from the ribs.
  • Re-heat the ribs for 1 hour.
  • Serve over pureed potatoes, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
