interesting concoctions. One of my oldest friends in Monroe often jokes, “We know not from whence the original meal came.â€? One of my thrifty, slow-paced favorites numbers beef short ribs, preferably the boneless variety. The recipe is easily adjusted to suit a mood or preference. By changing the liquid, from beer to wine to stock, and varying the warm spices to simpler additions of just the basics, a new dish emerges. Served with rice, potatoes, noodles or grits, the entree is complete. Winter Short Ribs 3 pounds boneless beef short ribs 1 teaspoon each salt, freshly ground pepper, paprika Flour for dusting 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 large onion, chopped coarsely 6 cloves garlic or less, finely chopped 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon chipotle chili sauce 1 chopped chipotle chile (optional) 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 cup beef broth 1 cup dark beer or broth 1/4 cup strongly brewed coffee 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 tablespoon lime juice at end of cooking Dust the ribs with seasonings and flour lightly. Brown the ribs on all sides in canola oil. Remove and sautĂŠ the onion until transparent, adding the garlic toward the end of the cooking. Add the rest of the ingredients slowly and carefully stir the bottom of the pan to release all the particles from the browning. Place in a 325 degree oven for 2-1/2 hours, checking several times to make sure the meat is covered with liquid. If it begins to dry add more broth or water. Finish the dish with the lime juice. Serve with chosen compliment and sprinkle with chopped parsley. The ribs are better the second day and freeze beautifully. While the digital world moves quickly with often the use of a single finger, ease of time advocate Carl Honore advises in his text, In Praise of Slowness: “The time has come to challenge our obsession with doing everything more quickly.â€? We might just put down our iPads and iPhones and head for the kitchen for a slow sautĂŠ. NCM
