The meat on the bone is so rich in flavor, and because short ribs are fairly fatty, they are always moist. Ingredients:
1 (14 g) package porcini mushrooms or 1 (14 g) package shiitake mushrooms, dried |
3 lbs beef simmering beef short ribs |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
2 cups button mushrooms |
2 onions, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 carrots, diced |
1 tablespoon crumbled dried rosemary |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 796 ml |
3/4 cup red wine (or 3/4 cup beef stock and 1 tbsp. wine vinegar) |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons wine vinegar |
1/3 cup water |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In measuring cup, pour boiling water over porcini mushrooms; let stand for 20 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid. I like to strain the liquid through a paper towel lined sieve, because of the sand in the liquid from the mushrooms. Set mushrooms and liquid aside.
2. Cut ribs into 2 bone pieces. Broil, turning once, until browned, 5 minutes. Place in slow cooker.
3. In skillet, heat oil over medium high heat; sauté porcini and button mushrooms, onions, garlic, carrots, rosemary, salt and pepper until softened, 5 minutes. Scrape into slow cooker. Add tomatoes.
4. Whisk together soaking liquid, wine and tomato paste; pour into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until meat is tender. Skim off fat.
5. In small bowl, whisk together flour, vinegar and 1/3 cup water; whisk into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened. Stir in parsley. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
6. VARIATION: Stove Top Short Ribs in Red Wine Sauce: Follow recipe as directed, using Dutch oven instead of slow cooker; cover and simmer over medium low heat until ribs are tender, about 2 hours. Skim of fat. Reduce flour to 2 tablespoons and water to 1/4 cup; whisk into pan and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley.
