Beef Short Ribs Ragu, with Kale

Beef Short Ribs Ragu, with Kale

Ingredients
  

  • 5 lbs Beef short ribs. Bone in
  • Salt & pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 cup of each
  • Mirepoix (equal parts, Onion, Carrots and Celery)
  • 1 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 cup Red Wine
  • **Optional: 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 3 cups Beef or Chicken stock
  • 2 Lg Cans Quality plum tomatoes crushed
  • 1 Sm Can Quality tomato paste
  • 2 cups Chopped kale (remove stem first before chopping leafy greens)
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 (or 2) Packages ofFettuccini
  • Shaved Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚
  • Over medium high heat, in a large dutch oven place olive oil
  • Season meat generously with salt and pepper and place into dutch oven to brown. Caramelizing the meat adds a ton of flavor so please don’t skip this step.
  • Do not over crowd the pan, please do the browning in stages to maintain the heat
  • Reserve browned meat separately and add the mirepoix to the dutch oven to sauté. Ideally, we are looking for a light caramelization. Near the end of this stage add in the minced garlic being careful not to overcook.
  • Add crushed tomatoes to the dutch oven with the vegetables
  • Add in the tomato paste and allow to cook for a few minutes to marry the ingredients together
  • At this point add in the red wine, the stock and return the meat to the pot to cook. Bring everything to a simmer (light boil)
  • Place into the preheated oven to cook for 3hours.
  • Each hour remove from oven and stir so any meat on the top will not burn
  • Once cooked. Allow to cool slightly so the rib bones can be removed. Please take the time to shred the meat
  • Strain out the vegetables and add to the reserved shredded meat. At this point I would recommend removing as much grease from the remaining sauce. As it will detract from the taste, use a fat separator or spoon. I realize this seems like one step too many but the final product makes it worthwhile
  • Add all ingredients together to complete the RAGU
  • Please cook the chopped kale over medium high heat to wilt. Season with salt and pepper
  • Cook pasta as package dictates
  • Combine ingredients to finish your dish and top with shaved parmesan

Course Dinner
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb of wild-caught salmon cut into fillets
  • 1 bushel of asparagus
  • ½ tsp. dried dill 1tbsp of fresh dill
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 2-3 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ lemon thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven t 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Wash and cut your veggies of choice, asparagus.
  • Ensure if you are using a root vegetable, such as sweet potatoes, that you slice them very thin so they cook the same time as everything else on the pan.
  • On one side of the sheet pan, spread all your veggies, drizzle with olive oil and seasonings
  • I used garlic, salt and pepper
  • On the second side of the sheet pan, place your salmon fillets, drizzle with olive oil and spices
  • I used garlic, salt, pepper and dill
  • Take lemon slices and place 1-2 on each salmon fillet
  • If you do not have fresh lemon slices, sprinkle salmon fillets with some lemon juice instead.
  • Place entire pan in the oven and forget it for 20 minutes!
  • After 20 minutes, check the salmon for doneness. If it flakes easily with a fork and is no longer opaque, it is finished. At this point the veggies should be done as well. If you are using root veggies and they are not yet tender, you can return them to the oven for an extra 5-10 minutes until fork tender.

Notes

If you like this recipe it can be used with SO many different varieties of proteins, veggies and spices! Try it with chicken, steak or trout. Bell peppers, asparagus, carrots, broccoli. Maple Garlic, teriyaki, lime chili.
