Cooking With Beer – Guinness Braised Short Ribs

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer – a time for friends and family getting together over food and drinks. So you’re gonna need right foods, as well as the right beer.

This tasty recipe comes our way from Guinness and it uses the brewery’s iconic Guinness Draught, a perfectly balanced 4.2% ABV Irish Stout with a subtle fruitiness and a roasty finish.

It’s easy to prepare and perfect for entertaining on Memorial Day.

So let’s do this!

Guinness Braised Short Ribs

Ingredients

8 quarts beef stock

2 cups tomato juice

2 cans Guinness Draught

2 carrots, diced

4 celery stalks, diced

2 chopped onions

4 sprigs of fresh thyme

12 (24 oz.) bone-in short ribs

Canola oil

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Season short ribs generously with salt and pepper.

Coat your pot with canola oil and pan sear short ribs in batches and when the meat is seared to an amber brown color, transfer to a roasting pan.

In the same pot, sauté carrots, onions and celery for 5 to 8 minutes then transfer to the roasting pan.

Add two cans of Guinness Draught to deglaze the pot over medium heat. Pour this liquid over the short ribs in your roasting pan.

Add beef stock, tomato juice and fresh thyme to the roasting pan and cover tightly with foil.

Place meat into preheated oven and braise for 2–2.5 hours. The short ribs will slightly pull away from the bone when they are ready

Remove short ribs from the roasting pan and transfer to a plate to rest.

Strain the remaining liquid and divide in half. Pour one half of the liquid into a saucepan and reduce over medium/high heat and reduce to create a sauce.

When ready to serve, simmer short ribs in the second half of your liquid until tender, approximately 15 minutes.

Spoon sauce reduction over the short ribs and serve.
