Crock pots are for your granny. In a few hours, this will be wine braised beef short ribs. I was going to serve this over polenta, but Mrs Tex overrode that decision. I will be serving it over mashed potatoes (Yukon Gold), with a gravy made from the braise liquid. I’ll post pics when it’s plated, and ready to serve. That looks like pig soup Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,738 Posted June 13, 2019 Beef short ribs....not pig. Reading is fundamental. They were seared on a cast iron skillet, before being placed on a bed of onion, celery, and carrots. Then, 2 cups red wine, and 4 cups beef stock is poured in the Dutch oven, a few sprigs of thyme on top, and a nice rest in the oven for a few hours. My house smells amazing right now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,738 Posted June 13, 2019 Go fire up your crock pot, grandma Zeke. Maybe you can make velveeta beer cheese soup for tomorrow’s dinner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,738 Posted June 13, 2019 When the power is out, grandmas crock pot is useless. A cast iron Dutch oven can be used in the oven, on a grill, or over a fire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,738 Posted June 13, 2019 Once the short ribs are done.... First, you make a roux. Then, strain the solids from the braise liquid, and make a gravy. Use a little bit of fresh thyme in the gravy to tie it all together, Then, plate it. A little gravy, garlic mashies, topped by a lovely braised short rib. Garnish with a little green onion. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If'n yer gonna put pineapple on meat, it may as well be pork. They go together like, pineapple and pork, which it turns out, is a pretty good combo.
