Instructions

Instructions

1

<strong>Prepare the Ribs:</strong> Dry the ribs well with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pré-aqueça o forno a 160°C.

2

<strong>Sear the Meat:</strong> Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot (that can go in the oven), such as a cast-iron pot. Sear the ribs on all sides until nicely browned. This should take 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the pan and set aside.

3

<strong>Saute the Aromatics:</strong> In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft and slightly golden. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1 more minute, stirring constantly.

4

<strong>Build the Sauce:</strong> Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring to form a light roux. Pour the stout, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen the caramelized bits. Let it boil for 2 minutes to evaporate some of the alcohol.

5

<strong>Slow Braise:</strong> Add the beef broth, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Bring the sauce to a boil. Return the ribs to the pot, making sure they are partially submerged. If necessary, add more broth. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven.

6

<strong>Cook:</strong> Braise for 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours, or until the meat is extremely tender and falls apart easily with a fork. Turn the ribs halfway through the time to ensure even cooking.

7

<strong>Prepare a Polenta:</strong> Cerca de 30 minutos antes de as costelas estarem prontas, comece a polenta. Em uma panela média, leve o caldo de legumes (ou água) e o leite para ferver. Tempere com sal. Adicione a polenta lentamente, mexendo constantemente com um batedor para evitar grumos. Abaixe o fogo para o mínimo e cozinhe, mexendo frequentemente, por 15-20 minutos (ou conforme as instruções da embalagem) até a polenta engrossar e ficar cremosa. Desligue o fogo, incorpore a manteiga e o parmesão ralado. Ajuste o sal e a pimenta.

8

<strong>Roast the Vegetables:</strong> While the polenta cooks, in a baking sheet, mix the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven along with the ribs for the last 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. If you prefer, bake in a separate oven at 200°C.

9

<strong>Finish and Serve:</strong> Remove the ribs from the oven. Carefully remove the ribs from the pot and strain the sauce through a fine sieve to remove the vegetables and seasonings. Discard the solids. Return the strained sauce to the pan and, if desired, reduce over medium heat until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve the braised ribs with the creamy polenta and roasted vegetables, drizzled with the rich sauce.

Variations

- Adicione 2 colheres de sopa de melaço de cana ou açúcar mascavo ao molho para criar uma nota adocicada de churrasco de inverno - Incorpore cogumelos frescos fatiados ao braseado na última hora de cozimento para enriquecer com umami terroso - Desfie as sobras da costela braseada para rechear massas caseiras como raviólis ou sanduíches rústicos

How to Store

Keep the ribs with the sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The sauce becomes even more gelatinous and aromatic the next day; remove the cold solid fat layer before reheating over low heat.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the cooked ribs with the sauce in an airtight container for up to 90 days in the freezer. To serve, thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours and reheat in a covered pot over low heat until simmering.

What to Serve With

It accompanies the creamy polenta from the recipe, butter-roasted root vegetables, and thick-crusted rustic bread slices exemplarily. To pair as a drink, serve with a glass of the stout beer itself or Syrah wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are short ribs?

These are special cuts from the front of the beef ribs, rich in collagen marbling, ideal for long cooking.

Does the taste of stout beer get bitter in the sauce?

No, the 3-hour reduction evaporates the alcohol and softens the hop bitterness, leaving aromatic notes of coffee, cocoa, and roasted malt.

Can I make the braise in a pressure cooker?

Yes, brown the meat and vegetables, add the stout and broth, cover, and cook for 50 to 60 minutes after reaching pressure on low heat.

How to make polenta completely smooth and without lumps?

Pour the cornmeal in a constant stream over the boiling liquids while stirring quickly with a wire whisk.
