Mustard-Glazed Beef Short Ribs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 pounds beef short ribs, on the bone, cut into 4 portions
- Fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 celery stalk chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped, optional
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine
- 3 cups low-sodium, store-bought beef broth
- Bouquet garni: 3 rosemary sprigs, 3 thyme sprigs, and 3 oregano sprigs, tied in a cheesecloth
- 1/2 cup Pommery mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Pour the oil into a wide, deep-sided saute pan and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, add them to the pan, and brown them all over, about 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the ribs to a large casserole or roasting pan.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the saute pan and cook for 5 minutes to lightly caramelize them.
- Add the jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, wine, and broth to the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a rapid boil, then pour it over the ribs in the casserole.
- The liquid should not rise more than two-thirds up the side of the ribs and the ribs should not be entirely submerged.
- If you have extra liquid, maybe your casserole is too small and the ribs are too tightly packed; try dividing the ribs and liquid among two casseroles.
- Put the casserole in the oven, add the bouquet garni, and braise the ribs for about 1 1/2 hours.
- Pierce the ribs with the tines of a fork, if cooked enough, the fork will meet no resistance.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring the ribs to a plate or platter.
- Degrease the braising liquid, strain it, discard the solids, and reduce and reserve the juices for serving.
- The short ribs can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated for 1 to 3 days.
- Let come to room temperature before proceeding.
- Prepare an outdoor grill with a drip pan to prevent flare-ups or preheat the oven to 350F.
- Combine the mustard and honey in a bowl and liberally brush over the ribs.
- Grill or cook the ribs in the oven for 10 minutes, turning once, until the glaze is caramelized, dark, and delicious.
- If grilling, brush on more glaze as the ribs cook.
- Serve the ribs family style, passing the reduced braising liquid alongside in a sauceboat.
