Guinness-Braised
Short Ribs
A perfect, comforting dish for
a cold winter evening.
Settings: Brown/Sauté
Slow Cook
Makes 4 servings
4 beef short ribs (about 2 pounds)
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
1½ teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, peeled and cut into
¼-inch dice
1 leek, root end trimmed, white and
light green parts only washed well
and cut into ¼-inch dice,
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into
¼-inch dice
1 celery stalk, cut into ¼-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
¾ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
12 ounces Guinness beer (one standard
bottle)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
water, if necessary
4 fresh Italian parsley sprigs, chopped
1. Season the beef on all sides with ½
teaspoon of the salt, and all the pepper.
2. Put the oil into the cooking pot of the
Multicooker set to Brown/Sauté at 400°F.
Once unit has preheated, add the short
ribs. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side,
until nicely browned. Remove and reserve.
Carefully remove the grease, leaving only
about 2 teaspoons behind.
3. Add the vegetables, garlic, thyme and
remaining salt to the pot and reduce the
temperature to 375°F. Cook until onion is
translucent and vegetables are slightly
softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the
Guinness and simmer to reduce slightly,
about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato
paste. Nestle the ribs and any accumulated
liquid into the vegetables. Be sure liquid
comes halfway up the ribs (if it does not,
add additional water to reach to that point.)
4. Cover and switch unit to Slow Cook on Low
for 10 hours.
5. When unit switches to Keep Warm, it is
recommended to degrease the liquid before
serving. Either remove grease with a ladle
or blot with a fat mop or paper towel.
6. Once ready to serve, stir in the chopped
parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning
accordingly.
