Ingredients (16 Servings)

  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 12 Oz Beef Short Ribs
  • 1 Cup Onion diced
  • 14 Cup Carrot diced
  • 14 Cup Celery diced
  • 2 Thyme sprigs
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 5 Whole Peppercorns
  • 2 Teaspoon Balsamic Syrup can use balsamic vinegar and reduce - see instructions
  • Arugula best if you can get micro arugula. if not can use parsley leaves for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese as needed for garnish
  • Beef Stock enough for covering the meat. can substitue with water

Preparation

  • Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season beef with salt and pepper and sear in a sauté pan on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • In same pan, sauté vegetables until they become softened. Add red wine and cook until evaporated. Transfer vegetables with beef, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns to an oven-safe 8x11” baking pan. Then add hot beef stock and/or hot water to partially cover ¾ of beef.
  • Cover pan with foil and place in a 275’F oven. Cook for 2 ½-3 hours until fork tender, checking liquid level at least once during process. If it is not, check every 30 minutes until tender and luscious.
  • To assemble, slice short rib and top with balsamic syrup, parmesan, and micro arugula. Serve on tasting spoon.
  • Cook's tip: if you can't get balsamic syrup - you can create a reduction yourself! Simmer Balsmaic vinegar over very low heat for about 30 minutes until it reaches a thick sauce consistency. Taste it - you're in for a surprise..
