    Recipe Introduction


    Braising is a method used on tougher cuts of meat that guarantees
    tenderness. In addition, this slow-cooked method imparts a wonderful
    flavor due to the longer cooking time with vegetables, herbs and
    stock.


    List of Ingredients




    Braised Beef Short-Ribs


    6 pounds beef short-ribs
    8 slices bacon, chopped
    2 large onions, quartered
    3 stalks celery, quartered
    3 carrots, sliced
    8 cloves garlic, smashed
    6 cups beef stock, bouillon or water
    1 cup dry red wine
    3 sprigs fresh thyme
    6 leaves fresh basil
    salt and pepper to taste


    Recipe



    Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Season short-ribs well using salt and
    pepper. In a 10-quart Dutch oven, brown bacon to render fat over
    medium-high heat. Do not burn. Remove crisp bacon and set aside. In
    the bacon fat brown short-ribs, 4 at a time, taking care not to burn
    bacon fat. Once all the ribs are brown add onions, celery, carrots
    and garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes to tenderize vegetables. Add beef stock
    and red wine. Bring to a rolling boil and reduce to simmer. Add
    cooked bacon, browned short-ribs, thyme and basil. Season stock with
    additional salt and pepper if necessary. Return the mixture to a
    rolling boil, cover and place in pre-heated oven. Cook 1 1/2 hours,
    checking for tenderness. When ribs are fork-tender, remove from stock
    and set aside. Reduce stock by half. When ready to serve, strain
    stock, return ribs to the pot along with the sauce and re-heat in pre-
    heated oven. Ribs may be prepared up to 3 days in advance and remain
    in the stock until ready to serve.
