 Method:

  • Preheat the pan. Generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear the short ribs, 1 to 2 minutes per side, until browned all over. Remove the meat to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  • Add the shallot, garlic, tomato paste, rosemary, and bay leaf, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce it for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the water and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer, and nestle the meat back into the pot. Cover with a lid and bake for 90 minutes, or until the ribs are fully cooked and tender.
  • Keep the sauce and reduce until thicker.

Presentation:

  • Boil the baby carrot and green asparagus, and then sauté with butter, salt and pepper.
  • Put the beef short rib in the middle of the deep plater, pour the sauce around the beef short rib.
  • Put the mashed potatoes around beef and put the sautéed vegetables on top.
