Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 55 minutes
Ingredients:
- 5 short ribs of beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 slices of ginger
- 3 cups dry red wine
- 4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- Canola oil, for grilling
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spice Mix:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin. This aromatic blend will infuse the ribs with irresistible flavor.
-
Season the Ribs:
- Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Then, rub the spice mix all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
-
Grill the Ribs:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with canola oil to prevent sticking. Once the grill is hot, place the seasoned ribs on the grill and cook until all sides are well browned, creating a delicious caramelized crust.
-
Prepare the Aromatic Base:
- While the ribs are grilling, heat a medium stockpot over medium heat and coat the bottom with a bit of canola oil. Add the chopped onion, carrot, minced garlic, ginger slices, and any optional chiles. Sauté until the vegetables are golden brown and fragrant.
-
Deglaze and Simmer:
- Deglaze the pot with the dry red wine, pouring it in and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by 50 percent, intensifying its flavor. Then, return the grilled ribs to the pot, along with the dark soy sauce, fresh thyme, and enough water to cover the ribs.
-
Infuse the Flavor:
- Taste the liquid and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remember, the flavor of the liquid will ultimately determine the taste of the ribs, so be sure it’s well seasoned. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Carefully remove the cooked ribs from the liquid and set them aside. Strain the cooking liquid to remove any solids, then skim off any excess fat. Return the liquid to the pot and simmer until it reduces by about 20 percent, creating a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, return the ribs to the pot to keep them warm and allow them to soak up all the delicious flavors. Just before serving, garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro for a pop of freshness and color.
