Stout-Braised Short Ribs

This aromatic stout-braised short ribs recipe is a sophisticated take on a classic comfort food favourite. By slow-cooking the beef in a rich infusion of dark stout, earthy spices, and sweet root vegetables, the meat transforms into a melt-in-the-mouth delicacy. The addition of Madras curry powder and dry mustard provides a subtle warmth that cuts through the richness of the beef, creating a complex, savoury gravy that is perfect for a cold evening.

As a high-protein dish, these ribs are as nourishing as they are flavourful, making them an excellent choice for a weekend dinner party or a restorative family meal. For the best results, serve the ribs over a bed of buttered egg noodles with a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley to brighten the deep, caramelised flavours of the sauce.

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 2 cucharaditas de sal

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 4 to 1.9kg beef short ribs, cut into 4-inch pieces

  • 4 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), chopped (475ml )

  • 3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

  • 4 medium carrots, chopped (250g )

  • 3 celery ribs, chopped (1 1/2 cups)

  • 2 hojas de laurel turco o 1 de California

  • 40g chopped garlic (5 to 6 large cloves)

  • 425ml beef broth (400g)

  • 2 (350g) bottles stout such as Mackeson or Guinness

  • 2 (14- to 425g ) cans diced tomatoes

  • Accompaniment: buttered egg noodles tossed with chopped fresh parsley

  • a wide 6-qt heavy nonreactive pot with a lid

Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 191°C.

Stir together brown sugar, paprika, curry powder, cumin, pepper, salt, and mustard in a small bowl until combined.

Pat ribs dry and arrange in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan or a shallow dish, then generously coat all sides of ribs with spice mixture. Marinate, uncovered and chilled, 1 hour.

Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leeks and drain in a colander.

Heat oil in pot over high heat until hot but not smoking and quickly brown ribs on all 3 meaty sides (but not bone side) without crowding, in batches if necessary, about 1 minute per side. Transfer meat to a large plate, then add leeks, carrots, celery, and bay leaves to pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Add broth, beer, and tomatoes with their juice, then add ribs with any juices and remaining spices accumulated on plate and bring liquid to a boil, uncovered. Cover pot and transfer to oven, then braise until meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Skim off excess fat from surface of sauce. Discard bay leaves.
