Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350°. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown short ribs on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer short ribs to a plate. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons drippings from pot. Add onions and celery to pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until onions are browned, about 5 minutes. Add flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until well combined and deep red, 2-3 minutes. Stir in wine, then add short ribs with any accumulated juices. Add all herbs to pot along with garlic. Stir in stock and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and transfer to the oven. Cook until short ribs are tender, 2-1/2 hours. Transfer short ribs to a platter. Strain sauce from pot into a sauce pan. Spoon fat from surface of sauce and discard. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in shallow bowls over mashed potatoes with sauce spooned over. |

Notes: Gigi and I, along with our kids, went to St. Jane De Chantal School in Bethesda. Conservative and loving but rigid for a reason, (it works) De Chantal's rules, traditions and regulations sometimes irked those parents (and for that matter new pastors) not yet bent to their ways. Gigi spent 30 years at De Chantal as a PE, 1st grade, 8th grade and resource teacher while serving as assistant principal and school board member. I was a CYO coach for most of those 30 years and a reporter/columnist for the Parish periodical. With a reporter's ear to the ground, I'd pick up on all of the parental grumbling, complaining about this and that. Some of it I spoofed in the periodical. When given a chance to submit a recipe for a cookbook assembled by the De Chantal Home and School Association, I jumped at the opportunity and called it "Beef and Whine." It's cooking instructions came with a not too thinly veiled satire on whiny parents. Gigi would not admit that she liked how I wrote the recipe but I knew she at least liked the beef.
