BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

INGREDIENTS (yields 4 servings)

Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
8 whole beef short ribs (bone in)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
6 pieces pancetta, diced or substitute 1 package of beef bacon, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 whole medium onion, diced
3 whole carrots, diced
2 whole shallots, peeled and finely minced
2 cups red wine
2.5 tbsp Colgin Hickory Liquid Smoke
2 cups beef stock (enough to cover ribs)
2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
Chives for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Salt and pepper the ribs and then dredge in flour, set aside
3. In a large Dutch oven, cook the diced beef bacon over medium heat until completely crispy and all the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon and set aside. Do not discard the grease!!
4. Add the olive oil to the pan with the bacon grease and raise the heat to high. Brown the ribs on all sides, about 45 secs per side. Remove the ribs and set aside. Lower the heat to medium.
5. Add the onion, carrot, and shallot to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the flavorful bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-4 minutes.
6. Add the ribs to the wine and veggies. Add in the broth, liquid smoke, salt and plenty of pepper. Taste and add more salt if needed; the ribs should be completely submerged in liquid. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
7. Cover with a lid and place the Dutch oven in the oven. Cook at 350F for 2 hours then reduce the heat to 325F and cook for 30-45 mins more. The ribs should be fork tender/falling off the bone. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to sit, lid on, for at least 20 minutes before serving. At the last minute, skim the fat off the top.
