Gordon Ramsay Short Ribs Recipe
Gordon Ramsay Short Ribs Recipe is a rich, slow-cooked beef dish full of deep flavor. These short ribs are tender, juicy and fall off the bone.
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the Short Ribs
- Pat the short ribs dry using paper towels. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on all sides for strong and balanced flavor.
Sear the Meat
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sear short ribs on all sides until they become brown and develop a deep crust.
Remove the Ribs
- Take the browned short ribs out of the pot. Place them on a plate and keep them aside while preparing the sauce base.
Cook the Vegetables
- Add onions, carrots and celery into the same pot. Cook for a few minutes until they become soft and slightly golden in color.
Add Garlic and Tomato Paste
- Stir in garlic and tomato paste. Cook for one minute to remove raw taste and build rich flavor for the sauce base.
Pour Wine and Broth
- Add red wine and beef broth into the pot. Stir well while scraping the bottom to lift all flavor bits.
Add Herbs and Return Ribs
- Add thyme and bay leaves into the pot. Place the short ribs back into the sauce so they are fully covered.
Slow Cook in Oven
- Cover the pot and place it in the oven. Cook at low heat for about three hours until meat becomes very tender.
Rest and Serve
- Remove the pot from the oven carefully. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving with rich sauce on top.
Notes
- Always sear meat for deep flavor
- Use good quality beef broth
- Cook on low heat for tenderness
- Do not skip red wine
- Let meat rest before serving
- Use fresh herbs for better aroma
- Cover pot tightly while cooking
