Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 450 F. Season the ribs with s&p. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Reserve the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over med high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides and then transfer to a casserole. Roast ribs 30 minutes. While this occurs, cook the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until tender, about 5 min. in a fairly large frypan or skillet. Mix in the thyme and 3 Tbsps flour (more if you want more gravy) Slowly pour in, mixing steadily, the beef stock. Bring to boil and season with a little more s&p and reserve on low heat. When the short ribs have roasted 30 minutes remove from the oven and drain away the excess fat, keeping the juices. Reduce the oven temp to 325 . Pour onion/ gravy mix over the ribs. Toss in cut carrots, potatoes etc. I sometimes add a couple of fresh tomatoes wedged or some fresh red or yellow peppers. Whatever you like. Cover and bake for 1& 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone. Skim any fat from the surface before serving. Note thyme is the main herb flavor but feel free to add a few more different herbs but less than the thyme. |
