Sherry Braised Beef Short Ribs

Beef short ribs are pretty much foolproof, and as long as two things happen, you are in for some very fine eats. First, the beef must be really well browned – I’m talking deep, dark, crusty, and caramelized. The other key step is easier. To paraphrase an expression, ‘stick a fork in them, they’re done.’ Just braise them until they’re fork-tender. After browning properly, the only way to mess these up is to undercook them, so don’t.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer crisped bacon with a slotted spoon to a Dutch oven. Retain bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step: 3

Generously season short ribs with salt and pepper.

Step: 4

Heat bacon drippings in the same skillet over high heat. Cook short ribs in hot bacon fat until browned and caramelized on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to the Dutch oven, reserving drippings in the skillet. Add thyme and bay leaf to the ribs mixture.

Step: 5

Reduce heat under the same skillet to medium. Cook and stir onion in the skillet until soft and golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step: 6

Whisk flour into onion mixture and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes.

Step: 7

Pour sherry into onion mixture; cook until thick and hot, about 2 minutes. Pour onion-sherry mixture into Dutch oven; add beef broth and salt to taste. Bring ribs mixture to a simmer and cover the Dutch oven with a lid.

Step: 8

Transfer Dutch oven to the preheated oven and cook until short ribs are fork tender, about 2 hours. Remove ribs to a serving dish, reserving sauce in the pot.

Step: 9

Set Dutch oven high heat and boil sauce until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon reduced sauce over ribs.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , late-night snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). Meaning , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just pleased it in the first place."

When it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is not eating to much food than satiating not make leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to sleep .
