Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper, stems and seed removed
  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil (1 tablespoon to roast the bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons to saute the vegetables)
  • 4 pounds beef short ribs, cut into lengths which will fit into a pan to saute
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 2 stalks celery, diced small
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced small
  • 1 large onion, diced small
  • 1 quart beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves, stripped from 5 or springs
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves, stripped from 3 or 4 large sprigs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush bell pepper with grapeseed oil (reserving the rest of the oil) and roast in oven until charred, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and place in a covered container or a plastic bag to sweat. Allow oven heat to drop to 350 degrees F.

Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a large saute pan with a lid. Sear short ribs on all sides and remove to a utility platter. In the same pan, saute celery, carrots, and onion until the onion turns translucent. Add beef stock, tomato paste, molasses, rosemary, and thyme, and stir to combine. Return short ribs to pan, cover with a lid or foil and braise at 350 degrees F until the meat falls from the bone, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

While the short ribs are braising, peel the roasted bell pepper and cut julienne.

Remember to use an oven mitt when you remove the pan from the oven.

Remove rib meat and bones to a utility platter. Strain the pan juices into a bowl and then return them to the pan over medium-high heat. Create a slurry by whisking 2 tablespoons water into a small bowl of the cornstarch. Whisk the slurry into the pan juices and allow the mixture to thicken.

Arrange rib meat on a platter and spoon sauce over. Garnish with julienned roasted peppers, and sprinkle with parsley leaves

    iI made this yesterday but instead of cooking in oven I cooked them ia a slow cooker for approx 8 hours. The meat literally fell off the bones and was as tender as tender gets. I also added some smoked paprika and smoked pepper and it gave it a really nice almost wood chip cooked flavor. I served it over wide egg noodles and everyone enjoyed it. I would make this again.

    The recipe didn't seem like what I saw on the show, but then one usually only sees snippets of each recipe. There are no points for presentation at my house, so I skipped the parsley, and I wouldn't bother with the red pepper if I made this recipe again. I also had to use dried rosemary and thyme as this winter killed my rosemary bush, and I don't have any thyme growing.

    The time in the oven was closer to 2 hours rather than the quoted 1 to 1.5 hours (rather slower than my usual rib technique of 20 minutes in the pressure cooker, and 10-15 minutes on a cast iron grill in the oven.

    Overall, a good recipe, although if I make it again, I'd tweak the favour a bit--maybe more molasses and a bit of chili powder.
