I am going to celebrate World Vegetarian Day by cooking up some Braised Beef Short Ribs today. Since the only Short Ribs around this small town are very skimpy and hard to find and what they sell is called a ladder of short ribs (no true butcher shop around for a hundred miles) my wife let me splurge on some Prime Kobe Beef Short Ribs from Lobel's of New York. I got 2 pounds. Very expensive and a true splurge for us. Below is a picture of most of the ingredients except for the wine and beef stock I will be using and sea salt and black pepper.

In the Back from left to right is Smoked Spanish Paprika, clarified butter, 1/3 cup of Jack Daniels, Bacon drippings, and an onion. Up front from left to right is the local short rib Ladder, then the beautiful thick Kobe Beef Short Ribs a couple of stalks of celery and a carrot.

I will only use the butter if the bacon drippings is not enough to brown the Ribs and then saute the veggies.

I will be using the recipe from here Braised Beef Short Ribs

I am adding the Jack Daniels because I like the flavor it adds and will use a zinfandel for the wine. And adjust the recipe to 6 short ribs instead of the 12 called for.

Just pulled Short Ribs out of the oven after two hours at 350 The meat is wanting to fall off the bones and the sauce tastes really good. The caramelized onions and carrots added a nice background of sweetness to this dish and the smoked paprika adds a nice flavor also. Once it cools down a bit it goes into the fridge overnight. I think when I reduce the sauce tomorrow evening I will add a little corn starch if it does not thicken. Tomorrow we will have sides of mashed potatoes and either peas or string beans depending on what my wife chooses.
