Ingredients
- 2 kg/4 pounds beef shortribs (I prefer using bone-in short ribs cut into smaller pieces but you can use larger pieces as well)
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 3 carrots peeled and finely chopped
- 2 celery sticks finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 2 tbsp flour (optional)
- 2 pieces fresh Rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup tomato puree/passata
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 cups red wine
- 500 g/1 pound mushrooms
- salt and pepper to taste
For the cheesy mash
- 1 kg/2 pounds potatoes peeled and quartered
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC/320ºF.
- Season the short ribs generously. In a large, oven-proof lidded pot, heat a splash of olive oil then sear the beef ribs until well-browned on all sides.
- Remove from the pot and set aside. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and herbs then cook for another 30 seconds before adding the flour.
- Stir to coat the vegetables in the flour then add the wine and stock. Allow to come to a simmer then add the tomatoes and beef short ribs back to the pot. Season well then cover and place in the oven. Allow to braise for 2-3 hours or until the ribs are soft. Add the mushrooms and braise for another 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve.
- To make the cheesy mashed potatoes, Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they can easily be pierced with a sharp knife.
- Mash the potatoes with the butter and milk then add the cheese and season to taste.
- Serve cheesy mash with braised short ribs.
