Short Ribs Braised with Mushrooms and Tomatoes

The short ribs are slowly braised with easy-to-find dried porcini mushrooms (for real, ask someone at the fancy grocery store and they’ll find them for you!) until they turn into a triumph of fork-tender goodness. I love these short ribs over mashed potatoes, but the rich tomato and mushroom gravy is fantastic over soft polenta as well. I really hope you give this cool weather wonder a try.

Step: 1

Combine mushrooms and water in a bowl; soak until mushrooms are rehydrated, about 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms and reserve liquid; dice mushrooms.

Step: 2

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step: 3

Season short ribs all over with salt and black pepper.

Step: 4

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook short ribs in hot oil until browned on all sides, 7 to 12 minutes. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven.

Step: 5

Return skillet to heat and saute onion with a pinch of salt in hot pan until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir mushrooms into onion mixture.

Step: 6

Pour reserved mushroom liquid into skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir beef broth, tomato sauce, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf into onion mixture.

Step: 7

Pour tomato mixture over short ribs into Dutch oven and cover Dutch oven with a lid.

Step: 8

Cook short ribs in the preheated oven until short ribs are fork-tender, about 2 hours.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and got eat , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really will the junk food and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."
