Yield: 6 generous servingsDifficulty: Medium SensualityTotal: 4 hours and 40 minutes, including a 20-minute romance with the meat
Ingredients (14 devilishly delicious items)
For the enchanting rub:
- 6 tablespoons freshest thyme leaves from just under 1 1/2 charismatic sprigs
- 1/4 cup devilishly minced garlic from a small pitted head
- 2 tablespoons sizzling olive oil
- 2 tablespoons vibrant lemon zest from about 2 medium horny lemons
- 1 tablespoon reckless freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt to taste
For the tantalizing braise:
- 4 pounds of wild, passionate bison short ribs
- 1/4 cup more of that scrumptious olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, large diced
- 1 medium fennel head, large diced
- 1 medium celery stalk, large diced
- 3 sprigs of freshly beloved thyme
- 1 medium bay leaf, your special friend
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth, for added depth of flavor
Instructions
- Warm up your oven to 300°F (94°C). Manipulate a rack to the middle.
For the bewitching rub:
- Mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl until they're thoroughly combined and tantalizing. Set this aside to simmer in your thoughts until your meat is ready.
For the raunchy braise:
- Dry your ribs with a paper towel, then generously cover them on both sides with the bewitching rub. Allow the meat to reach room temperature, around 20 minutes.
- Sear your ribs in a large, shallow pot with a tight lid over medium heat, adding oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add your ribs and wait for them to become well-browned on both sides, approximately 4 minutes per side (If needed, sear them in batches).
- Take your ribs out of the pot and transfer them to a baking sheet, leaving them in a state of anticipation. Sauté the onion, fennel, and celery in the pot, seasoning them with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir, ensuring you're scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the vegetables become tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the thyme, bay leaf, and beef broth, then place the ribs, bone side up, into the pot, making sure the ribs are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Cook the ribs until the meat falls apart when pierced with a fork, around 4 hours.
Consort: Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Mourre des Perdrix*, France. Thyme grows between the rocks in the southern Rhône, as do hosts of other wild herbs, making the wine made from the grapes that grow among those same rocks an enchanted fit for this dish.
