How to Braise (Red Wine Braised Beef)
In this video I show you the basic method of braising. I use wine but you could easily substitute stock or any other flavorful liquid you might want to use (beer, etc.). I used a 4 pound chuck roast but any braising cut will do (Brisket, Lamb shanks, Beef shanks, pork shoulder). I hope you enjoy, and if you do be sure to like and subscribe and leave any questions you may have in the comments.

CABERNET-BRAISED SHORT RIBS
Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS
6 pieces large beef short ribs, each 14 to 16 ounces, trimmed of excess fat
Marinade
2 celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium leek, white and light-green parts only, split lengthwise, thoroughly rinsed, and coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Whole black pepper, to taste
1 bottle (750 milliliters) Cabernet Sauvignon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 quarts unsalted beef broth or chicken broth
Garnish
Mashed potatoes
Italian parsley, chopped, as needed
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 350F˚/180C˚.
In a large bowl, add the short ribs and all vegetables and herbs for the marinade. Add the wine to cover. Marinate at least 6 hours in the fridge.
Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with a towel or paper towel. Strain the veggies from the wine. Reserve both the wine and veggies for later.
Season the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Coat each side with flour and set aside.
In a large ovenproof pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. When the oil begins smoking, carefully slip ribs into the pot and sear until well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to plate.
In the same pot, sauté the veggies from the marinade until lightly caramelized and browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the wine in the pot, stirring to deglaze. Add tomato paste and stir to dissolve. Bring the liquid to a boil so the alcohol from the wine evaporates. Add beef broth and bring it back to a boil. Add the ribs back to your pot. Spoon the liquid over the ribs to coat them.
Cover the pot and transfer to the middle rack of your oven. Bake until meat is tender enough to be pierced easily with fork, about 2½ hours, opening the oven every 30 minutes and carefully skimming the fat from surface.
Serve with mashed potatoes, or another side of your choice, and garnish with chopped parsley on top.
Enjoy!

Salt and black pepper
1-2 Tbsp neutral oil (like canola or safflower)
2 sliced carrots
2 sliced yellow onions
4 sliced garlic cloves
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 bottle (750ml) red wine with moderate tannin and acidity
2 cups unsalted brown chicken of beef stock*
7g (1 packet) powdered gelatin (if using store bought or wimpy stock)
Thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
2 tsp pomegranate molasses (optional)
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour (either bleached or unbleached)
1 Tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
*Brown Chicken Stock in the Instant Pot:
Brown Chicken Stock on the Stove:
Trim the silver skin on short ribs. Put the oil into a large, deep, oven safe skillet or dutch oven and set over high heat. Dry the short ribs thoroughly with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides, adding oil as necessary and regulating the heat so that the short ribs brown steadily, but not too aggressively (do this in batches if necessary). Remove the short ribs from the pan. Add the carrots and onions to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook stirring occasionally until golden brown. While the vegetables are cooking, preheat the oven to 300F (150C) with a rack in the middle, and sprinkle gelatin over the stock (unless it’s pretty gelatinous already) and let it sit for 5 min.
Add the garlic and tomato paste to the vegetables in the pan and cook stirring constantly until evenly distributed. Add the short ribs back to the pan bone side down snuggling them in between the veggies. Pour in the wine, stock, and enough water to almost cover the short ribs. Add the thyme sprigs and the bay leaf. Cover with a lid or a round piece of parchment paper. If using the paper, tuck it in so that it makes full contact with the liquid. Cook in the middle of the oven until fork tender, 3-5 hours.
Remove from the oven, flip the short ribs bone side up and let cool in the sauce to lukewarm, about 2 hours. Remove and discard the bones and connective tissue (or save for stock Put the meat into a container and cool completely. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a container and cool completely. Refrigerate the meat and the sauce overnight or up to 5 days (only cover once they are completely cool).
The next day, remove the grease from the sauce. At this point the meat and the sauce can be frozen if desired. Put the sauce into a large skillet and boil it down until slightly syrupy. Stir in the pomegranate molasses. Add the short ribs, cover, and warm up on very low heat flipping occasionally, about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, mash the flour and butter together with a fork into a smooth paste. Remove the short ribs from the pan. Taste the sauce. If it’s too salty, don’t reduce it anymore. Add a splash of water, and use the flour butter paste to thicken. If it’s not salty and still feels too thin, boil it down. If you feel that it needs help thickening, stir in the flour butter paste a bit at a time, bringing the sauce to a simmer after each addition. Wait 30-60 seconds after the sauce comes to a simmer before judging the thickness. Stir constantly. Taste and correct for salt. If the sauce ends up too thick or salty, add a splash of water. Pour over the short ribs and serve.
