Short Ribs...eventually. [aaaaaand they’re done]

[PatriotX]

Hi folks,

My meat dealer hooked me up with a few pounds of the good stuff; 21-day aged short ribs.


They got treated to a cracked pepper and kosher salt dry rub for an overnight rest, then into a smoking hot pan.


First batch :


Need to get those crispy bits, throw in an onion.


In the slow cooker goes the veggies and some leftover hooch.



A few tablespoons of the Magic Elixer [insert string hit]



Some of this for the chef:



Add meat, onions, a touch more wine, come back tomorrow.

Thank you. A picture over the internet is as close as I can get right now. I can smell and taste them. Thank you!

YUMMMMM!!!!

Only 6 or so hours to go. The house smells insanely good, might not be able to sleep.

If I do, there will be meat dreams. Guaranteed.

I dreamt of hunting Buffalo on the Great Plains. Then, we feasted.


This morning:




Time to stick-blend the goodness

Got to love it when a Butcher "Knows" how to cut those ribs correctly.......... nice job and they look great.

Here in Reno that are at $5.99 a pound.........
several years ago before they got noticed I could pick them up for $2.99 a pound. Still a great meal cooked in a HEAVY IRON pan, if you have one.
Browning, seasoning and Vino are the three main items plus a lot of time
in the oven or coals, if outside, for one of the great meals that you can make, for your taste buds.

Nice job.

Looks pretty darn delicious! I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy - personally, I'd give that honor to short ribs.

I've never seen anyone cook with a 1990 Lagrange before. I still have a few bottles of the '90 and some of the '89 down in the cellar. Had one of the '90s just last week - still drinking wonderfully.

Is that Magic Elixer what we call here "pepper vinegar"? Sure looks like it. That is some good stuff!

Count me in for any recipe that calls for power tools.

I have some power tools for brisket that you’d like.

The whole pepper harvest in 2017 made 5 bottles. 3 years aged in dark cupboard.

It was nice on the palate, looooooooong finish with tobacco and sweet, leathery notes.

Home Cooking is one of the things I miss since my Wife passed

Going cheap by using $160/bottle wine to cook with? 'Time to move your game up and use decent wine!

Sauce finished nicely, with the help of a bit of blonde roux



Serving suggestion.

Did you really use a 1990 La Grange to deglaze??

Come’on man!!

So, now we have the picture proofs, after drooling for a couple days. This is very good. However, the actual taste proof is lacking. How do you offer to resolve this discrepancy? I can offer my mailing address via pm if this would be helpful to your unsolved predicament.

I should have known better than to read this thread at 2145. Drooling and not much I can do about it.

Exactly!

Why would you want to use a Third Growth when a Lafite or Mouton would kick it up a notch?

Did my pepper harvest this year. So far I've gotten 5 pint jars and will have enough for one more jar before the winter and frost sets in. They make great gifts for family members that know how good that pepper vinegar goes with a nice mess of greens. I planted 4 cayenne pepper plants and one day last week I picked 82 peppers that had turned red and were ready to go. They were small, about the size of your pinky finger, but were really hot.
