I cooked an amazing beef rib braise yesterday, gotta share
 

I hope I'm not "pirating" the recipe from the book I adapted it from.. :winkwink:

I'm sure everyone is familiar with miami style beef ribs, same cut of meat.

Miami style ribs, found the pic in google:

I bought a chunk of this meat instead of having it cut into slices, maybe 4 inches thick in both directions, 3 ribs long, so maybe 12" long.

I tried to sear it whole, but my dutch oven wouldn't hold it well, so I cut between the ribs for 3 big square chunks.

- Salt + Pepper, then sear in olive oil on all sides, remove to a plate.
- Remove a bit of the oil, then throw in a 2 large sliced onions, and 2 sliced carrots (discs, half inch thick)
- Fry until golden
- Add a bottle of beer (recipe called for porter ale, I used an Amsterdam lager, worked out good) boil beer for 2 minutes
- Add a cup of chicken, beef or veal stock (I used homemade roasted chicken stock)
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat
- Put the ribs back in on top of the liquid, onions and carrots
- Put in some parchment paper to overlap the pot, and tuck it around the meat
- Put the lid on top, parchment paper should come out on all sides
- 300 degree oven for 2.5 hours, take it out every 45 minutes to turn the meat carefully with tongs. Try to keep the bones in, but if they fall out whatever
- Let it sit for a bit, then eat.

Goddamn that was good!!

Wow. That looks delicious. I have a lazy man's hybrid where I wrap a whole rack in foil after gently brazing with bbq sauce and honey. Cook for about 3 hours at 325; the last half hour, with the top of the foil removed, and tons of BBQ sauce slathered over the top. Sometimes, I'll poke cloves into it for a bit more flavor.

"Amsterdam lager" wtf? :1orglaugh

Damn man that almost looks as good as my Alaskian king crab legs I ate last night, with a loaded twice baked patato, home made mac and cheese, and asparagus.

That looks tasty..gotta try that
