Short Rib Supper
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 pound thin-skinned potatoes
- 1 onion (1/2 lb.)
- 1 turnip (about 1/2 lb.)
- 4 pounds lean beef short ribs, fat trimmed, cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces
- 1 cup fat-skimmed beef or chicken broth
- About 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
- About 1/4 pound watercress, rinsed and drained
- Salt
- Peel carrots, potatoes, onion, and turnip and cut into about 1/2-inch dice.
- Rinse ribs, drain, and lay bone-down in a single layer in a 12- by 14-inch casserole (about 5 qt.) at least 2 inches deep. Distribute vegetables evenly around but not over meat. Pour broth and 1 1/4 cups water into casserole.
- Coat tops of ribs with 6 tablespoons horseradish.
- Cover casserole tightly with foil, tenting if necessary to keep foil from touching ribs. Bake in a 375u0b0 oven until meat is very tender when pierced, about 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, break leaves from watercress and finely chop stems. Cover each separately and chill.
- Uncover casserole and bake until ribs brown, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer ribs to a large platter and keep warm. Mix chopped watercress stems with vegetables and return to oven until watercress is slightly wilted, about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. With slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to platter. Skim and discard fat from pan juices, then pour juices into a bowl.
- Garnish platter with the watercress leaves. Serve the meat and vegetables with pan juices, horseradish, and salt to taste.
