Recipe Summary Borscht-Braised Beef Short Ribs
I've never been a big fan of beets, but in certain things, like borscht, I love them. With that simple soup as an inspiration, I thought the flavors would work nicely with the rich, fatty short ribs, and they sure did.Ingredients | Beef Ribs Cooking Time And Temperature3 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieceskosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 yellow onion, chopped2 tablespoons all-purpose flour3 cups chicken broth1 bay leaf1 pound beets, peeled and cut into large pieces1 cup cubed carrots½ cup chopped celery2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste¼ cup sour cream1 tablespoon chopped fresh chivesDirectionsPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).Generously season short ribs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat vegetable oil over high heat in a heavy pot. Brown short ribs on all sides until they are dark brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add onions and continue cooking over high heat until onions go from golden to dark brown, about 8 minutes; this will make a richer, darker sauce. Stir flour into the onion mixture; cook for about 1 minute. Pour in broth; add bay leaf, beets, carrots, and celery. Bring pot to a simmer. Place browned short ribs in pot, evenly distributing them among the vegetables.Bake in preheated oven until meat is tender, about 2 hours. Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter.Bring sauce to a fast simmer over high heat until it is reduced by half and slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh chives.I used 2 large beets totaling 1 pound, peeled and cut into eighths.Optional step: when you taste your finished sauce, if you want to add some acidity to balance the sweetness, adjust with a splash of white vinegar.Info | Beef Ribs Cooking Time And Temperaturecook: 2 hrs 20 mins total: 2 hrs 20 mins Servings: 4 Yield: 4 servings
