Ingredients
3-4 pounds Beef Short Ribs
1 cup Carrots, peeled and diced (2-3)
2 cups Yellow Onions, diced ( 1 medium)
2 cups Celeriac Root, peeled and diced (1 small)
1 cup Celery, stringed and diced (2 -3 ribs)
6 cloves mashed Garlic
1 cup fresh Orange Juice
1 cup strong Coffee
4 cups Brown Beef Stock
1 cup crushed Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Barnet Bay Butchers Rub seasoning (Savory Spice Shop)
1 teaspoon ground Cumin
Salt and pepper to taste.
4-6 tablespoons Ghee or Coconut Oil for cooking
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Pat the beef dry with paper towels.
Heat a large dutch oven or casserole over medium high heat, add 2-3 tablespoons Ghee to the casserole and sauté the beef until nicely browned on all sides.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add a little more ghee and slow caramelize the onions. Add the rest of the vegetables and cook a few more minutes until softened.
Add the seasonings, orange juice, wine, tomatoes and stock to the pan, bring to a simmer.
Place the over back in the dutch oven, cover and place in the oven. Regulate heat so that liquid simmers very slowly for 3 to 4 hours. The meat is done when a fork pierces it easily.
Taste for seasoning.
