Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
My first attempt at braising. The combination of beef, red wine, balsamic vinegar, and mirepoix is just magical to me. This recipe seems long and complicated, but most of the time is spent waiting around for it to cook by itself whilst you drink wine :)
Be sure to use a cast iron or enameled cast iron pan (with lid) for this dish as it will be placed into a very hot oven and needs to withstand that level of heat for an extended period of time.
The braise can be served over any number of starches: roasted or mashed potatoes, polenta, rice, etc. Your choice, but I lean towards mashed potatoes or polenta.

Pomegranate Braised Short Ribs Pomegranate Braised Short Ribs
This recipe was adapted from cooks illustrated. It takes a while to make, but is worth it, and a little different from the traditonal french braised ribs. It uses Morrocan ras el hanout to spice the ribs which is a mix of north African spices. I usually find the mix in the store, but if you can't, then I've included my recipe (grind all spices in a spice mill), and in a pinch garam masala would work. I like to serve this with apricot couscous.

This is loosely the standard execution for braised short ribs. Not posting my horseradish whipped potatoes so just make them to your liking. Having quality short ribs makes all the difference so spend money for quality.

I was feeling like surf and turf. So I made a red wine and balsamic braised short rib. Placed over creamy cheesey white polenta. Glazed with a reduced pan sauce and a light shrimp scampi on the side. The flavors were amazing.
