Coffee-Marinated Bison Short Ribs

These coffee-marinated bison short ribs offer a sophisticated twist on classic slow-cooked comfort food. By marinating the lean bison meat in a rich brine of strong coffee, maple syrup and rosemary, the fibres are tenderised while absorbing a deep, smoky complexity. This high-protein dish is then braised slowly in a savoury liquor until the meat is succulent and falling away from the bone, resulting in a truly impressive main course.

Perfect for a weekend dinner party or a special family gathering, this recipe can be prepared in advance to allow the flavours to develop further. Bison is a fantastic, nutrient-dense alternative to traditional minced beef or steak, offering a lighter yet equally satisfying finish. Serve these ribs alongside creamy mashed potatoes or seasonal root vegetables to soak up the glossy, reduced coffee glaze.

How to make Coffee-Marinated Bison Short Ribs

Stir 950ml water, coffee, 120ml coarse salt, and sugar in large bowl until salt and sugar dissolve. Add syrup and next 3 ingredients; stir until ice melts. Add ribs. Place plate atop ribs to keep submerged. Cover and chill 4 to 6 hours. Drain ribs; discard marinade. DO AHEAD: Drained ribs can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Preheat oven to 163°C. Sauté bacon in heavy large wide ovenproof pot over medium heat until beginning to brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to plate. Increase heat to medium-high. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook ribs until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer to large plate. Add onions, shallots, garlic, and jalapeño to pot. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add coffee and broth; stir, scraping up browned bits. Add chilli sauce and all remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Add bacon and ribs, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise until meat is tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm in 163°C oven until heated through, about 20 minutes, before continuing.

Transfer ribs to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Spoon fat from surface of sauce. Boil sauce until reduced to 475ml , about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over ribs.
