The little lady liked my beef short ribs the last time that I cooked them but they have almost doubled in price, since the last time that I picked them up.
While going through one of the stores, something caught my eye but I was not sure about the cut and went home to read up on it.
I returned the next day and picked up one packaged that had two items wrapped up at only $3.99 a pound and for a total of just $8.38, that I judged would fit into my Dutch oven, that I had.
I let the meat get to room temperature for an hour before removing the plastic wrap and then let it soak with sea salt for one hour before a quick rinse, pat dry and then a little more salt & pepper and a coat of flour before browning the meat in the D/O on top of the stove, in oil and set aside, while the veg's cooked.
I used onions, mushrooms and celery (out of carrots) with 4 garlic cloves added at the end of the ten minute break down time, then a 3/4 cup of wine with a can of Beef broth and three spices and two bat leaf, tossed in and stirred, befor adding the meat back to the pot.
This was put into a pre-heated oven at 350* for 30 minutes and then reduced to 325* for three hours with a liquid check......
with was ok and allowed to cook for one more hour. (4-4.5 +/-)
The whole house smelled...Wonderful !!
Joyce made some mashed potatoes and brown gravy to make this a really great meal. So nect time you go by the meat section, check out the............
