Equipment
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- Olive oil, for frying
- 6 thick-cut meaty beef short ribs
- 1 large head of garlic, cut in half horizontally
- 1 heaped tbsp tomato purée
- 1 x 750ml bottle red wine
- 1 litre beef stock
- 150g pancetta lardons
- 250g small chestnut mushrooms, trimmed and halved
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped flat leaf parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Oven: Preheat to 170°C/Gas 3.On the stove, preheat a deep roasting pan and add a generous amount of olive oil. The short ribs should be well-seasoned, and after frying for 10 to 15 minutes, both sides should be well browned.
- Put the cut-side-down half of the garlic head in the pan's bottom. To cook out the tomato purée, add it and heat for one or two minutes. Pour wine into the pan to deglaze it while scraping out any browned pieces. Add stock to almost completely cover the ribs after bringing to a boil and cooking for 10 to 15 minutes to decrease the liquid by half (you'll need less stock if your roasting tray isn't very large). Basting the ribs with the juices, bring to a boil once more.
- The roasting pan should be covered with foil and cooked in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours, basting occasionally, or until the flesh is falling from the bone tender.Fry the pancetta for two to three minutes, or until crisp and brown, about ten minutes before the short ribs are ready to be served. When the mushrooms are ready, add them and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Get rid of any extra fat.
- Remove the short ribs from the oven and place them in a serving dish once they are done. Garlic cloves should be squeezed from their skins and put through a sieve. Remove any extra fat from the liquid used to cook the beef, then drain it through a sieve and combine it with the garlic. (If the sauce is too thin, drain it and boil the remaining cooking liquid for an additional 10-15 minutes.)Serve the short ribs with the sauce poured over them and the hot pancetta and mushrooms on top. Add chopped flat leaf parsley as a garnish.
