Category: Ribs
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

5 lbs English-style beef short ribs (6 to 8 ribs), trimmed of excess fat
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 lbs yellow onions , halved and sliced thin
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 (12-oz) bottles dark beer such as Newcastle Brown Ale and ODoul Amber Nonalcoholic
2 tbsp Minute Tapioca
2 bay leaves
2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp soy sauce
12 pitted prunes
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley leaves

Season ribs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of ribs, meaty side down, and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn each rib on one side and cook until well browned, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining sides. Transfer ribs to Crock Pot insert, arranging them meaty side down. Repeat with remaining ribs.

Pour off all but 1 tsp fat from skillet. Add butter and reduce heat to medium. When butter has melted, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook, coating onions with tomato paste, until paste begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in beer, bring to simmer, and cook, scraping browned bits from pan bottom with wooden spoon, until foaming subsides, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in tapioca, bay leaves, 1 tsp thyme, soy sauce, and prunes. Transfer to Crock Pot insert.

Set crock pot on LOW, cover, and cook until ribs are fork-tender, 10 to 11 hours. (Alternately, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.) Transfer ribs to baking dish and strain liquid into bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 2 days.

When ready to serve, use spoon to skim off hardened fat from liquid. Place short ribs, meaty side down, and liquid in Dutch oven and reheat over medium heat until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Transfer ribs to serving platter.

Whisk mustard and remaining tsp thyme into sauce and season with salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup sauce over ribs. Sprinkle with parsley and serve, passing remaining sauce separately. Serves 4 to 6

NOTE: The only way to remove fat from the braising liquid is to prepare this recipe a day or two before you want to serve it. Luckily, the short ribs actually taste better if cooked in advance and then reheated in the defatted braising liquid.
