Ingredients
3 lbs boneless Brant Lake Wagyu Short Ribs
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 c red wine
3 sprigs of thyme
2 bay leaves
4 sprigs of Italian parsley
8 c water or beef stock
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
Season short ribs with salt and black pepper and let sit in the fridge for 4 to 8 hours. Brown short ribs well in a large heavy bottomed stew pot. Remove to a plate and add all vegetables, season and brown well. Add red wine and reduce to a glaze. Add herbs, water and the seared ribs. Bring to a simmer. Cover with parchment paper and put into a 250 F oven for 4 to 6 hours. When done, remove from the oven and let the short ribs cool down in the liquid. When cooled enough to handle, remove and place onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Strain the broth through a sieve and reduce to an enriched sauce.
