Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  2. 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  3. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  4. 1 lemon, zested
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  6. 8 short ribs
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  9. 6 tablespoons salted butter
  10. 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  11. 8 large carrots
  12. 4 cloves garlic
  13. 1 onion, sliced thin
  14. 4 cups beef stock
  15. 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  16. 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. For the breadcrumbs: Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Add the parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl, then toss to combine. Set aside and allow to cool, then cover until ready to use.
  2. For the short ribs and carrots: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  3. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Return the pot used for the breadcrumbs to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove to a plate. Add the tomato paste, carrots, garlic and onion. Stir and allow the tomato paste to cook for a minute. Pour in the beef stock and add the short ribs back to the pot; add the rosemary and bay leaves. Cover and place in the oven. Cook until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  4. Remove the carrots to a platter and use the back of a fork to mash them. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over the top, followed by the short ribs. Skim the fat from the braising liquid and transfer the liquid it to a server. Garnish with the buttery panko breadcrumbs and serve.

This was fantastic! I added thyme and a splash of red wine to the braising liquid. Everything came out perfectly after 3 hours. I ended up keeping the carrots whole and serving with mashed potatoes. The garnish was a great addition also.

Delicious! Has anyone tried this with boneless short ribs??

This recipe is. Great, great flavors and the meat was so tender. I’m making it again today…by the way, a local high-end restaurant serves this and charges approx$30

Absolutely wonderful!

Very tasty. Easy prep. Would make it again. The garnish is a must. The crunch is delightful.

I halved the recipe. At 300 degrees it took less than 3 hours for it to fall off the bone. The mashed carrots were a nice texture too. With salt and paper to taste at the end, it was delish! The toasted brown butter breadcrumbs with lemon zest were a pleasant addition as well!

Loved this! Almost skipped the bread crumbs but so glad I didn’t. Delicious!

This was GREAT!  I used my cast iron Dutch oven and it finished in 3 hours.  Loved the panko with lemon.  Not a great fan of veggies, but I sure did enjoy eating my carrots this way…thanks, Ree.
