Cola Braised Short Ribs

Cola Braised Short Ribs

3 lbs Short Ribs (Try to get thick cuts) this should equal to 6 short ribs
3 Celery Ribs, diced
2 Carrots, diced
1 medium Onion, diced
4 Cloves Garlic, crushed
5 sprigs Thyme
5 Sprigs Parsley
2 Sprigs Rosemary
1 Bay leaf
1 T Tomato Paste
1 T cooking oil @chefslife.co
2.5 cups Beef Stock
Salt and Pepper TT

Directions:
Generously season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper.
Dice your celery, carrots and onions. Set aside.
Crush 4 cloves of garlic. Set aside.
To a heavy bottom pot add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil. I’m using @chefslife.co
Sear your short ribs on all sides in batches if needed. Set aside. In the residual fat, sauté your vegetables until softened then add the garlic and cook a few more minutes. Add your tomato paste and cook until deepended in color. Deglaze with two cans of Coca-Cola. Add back in the short ribs and cook on medium heat until liquid has reduced by 1/3.

Add enough beef stock to just cover the short ribs. Cover with a parchment lid or loosely cover with a pot lid. Transfer to 325°F oven and cook for three hours.

Strain out the vegetables from your braising liquid and reduce the strained liquid until thickened.

Plate with your starch of choice and spoon on the extra sauce. Garnish with parsley or thyme.

Enjoy!
