Coffee Braised Beef Short Ribs

Print

Rich and delicious, Coffee Braised Beef Short Ribs, a classic favorite for our flagship wine, Zephyr.

Ingredients

Serves 4 to 6

Coffee Braised Beef Short Ribs

3 pounds boneless beef short ribs
Canola oil as needed
1 onion sliced thin
6 cloves garlic roughly chopped
2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
1/2 bottle Davis Estates Red Wine
2 cups strong coffee (1/3 cup ground coffee to 2 cups water)
1 quart beef stock

Method

Coffee Braised Beef Short Ribs

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Season beef with salt and pepper.
  • In a Dutch oven over high heat add oil, then sear beef on all sides until nicely browned. Remove beef and place aside.
  • Drain off any excessive oil. Add in onions and garlic and stir, scrapping up brown bits off bottom of pan.
  • Pour in the red wine and reduce to half.
  • Add coffee and beef stock, bringing to a boil. Once boiling, add beef, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Cover tightly with foil and lid, place in oven for 2 ½ hours to 3 hours.
  • Remove beef from pan, being careful so the short ribs do not fall apart.
  • To make a sauce, skim fat off of the top of the cooking juice. Add desired amount of juice to a saucepan and reduce to a slight syrup consistency. Then whisk in a couple pats of cold butter…..because butter makes it better!

To Finish

Serve immediately with a glass of Zephyr and your favorite sides.

Pairing Suggestion

Fall apart coffee braised short ribs bring bold, rich flavor to the table, while Davis Estates Zephyr adds the perfect balance of dark fruit, spice, and elegance to every bite.
