Braised Beef Ribs

This baby takes two days if you do it right. One day to make/mix/marinade, about 3hrs to cook.

Your family will hate you at how much you're kitchen smells AMAZING but they can't eat for a while

Ingredients

1 onion, sliced

4 garlic cloves, diced (the shit from a jar works fine)

3 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 leek, cleaned & chopped (it's sold in produce, near onions)

4 carrots, chopped

4 sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme (I don't have time for the fresh shit)

1 cup red wine (the cheap stuff)

1/2 cup soy sauce, or like 30 packs you stole from the Chinese take out

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 1/2 pounds beef ribs (short ribs are best, but hard to find. Must be beef though)

5 or 6 red potatoes, cut into about the size ya wanna eat

Get started. . . yesterday

Mix all the ingredients except your meat and potatoes in a 9x15 pan (this recipe doesn’t make much, at least double it and use a bigger pan if you’re feeding more than 2.75 adult humans). Grab your meat and rub it all over with the marinade of happiness. Your meat should fit in a single layer in the pan, surrounded by it’s friends, the veggies. Throw them taters on top.

Cover with foil, the good heavy shit, and let soak in the fridge overnight. Wiggle your meat around now & then, flip it, turn it, make sure it’s nice & wet. Keep your meat wet. . . I find it easier to use a slotted spoon, scoop out all the veggies so that the meat is laying in as much marinade as possible, returning veggies to the top. They’ll get their turn, but the money’s in the meat

Remove from the refrigerator an hour before cooking. . . protect from asshole children & dogs.

Oven to 400 degrees. Cook these bitches for one hour, then crank the heat down to 350 for another 2 to 3 hours.

I prefer to leave the foil on tight, with a vent hole in the top for almost the entire time. Remove foil for final reducing of sauce to your liking. . . thicker sauce? Less foil time.

Turn the ribs over at least once during it’s sauna.

Now, I ain’t telling you how to live your life here . . . but you don’t need much sides. Most your shit is right here in this one pan. Slot-spoon that shit out, ladle you some sauce on top. BOOM.

And your kitchen is gonna smell fucking amazing the entire time this bitch is roasting. I know, I know. I said that up at the top, but dude. . . so awesome.
