Make them ahead for a seamless holiday meal. 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces (8 to 12) Salt and pepper 1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges 2 medium carrots, cut into a large 2” pieces 2 medium celery stalks cut into 2” pieces 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled 10 sprigs thyme 2 sprigs of rosemary 1-2 tbl Harissa Paste 1 tbl tomato paste 3 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup Pinot Noir 3 cups of low sodium beef stock Kosher salt and Freshly Ground Pepper Garnish: ½ cup pomegranate seeds, for serving Finely minced chives or microgreens Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a large heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In batches, brown ribs on all sides. Transfer to a plate, pour off oil, and wipe loose bits out of pot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to pot. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add in the tomato paste and coat the vegetables, cook for 1-2 minutes or until the color develops. Now deglaze with the pomegranate juice, stock, and wine, scraping up any remaining brown bits and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Return ribs to pot, add the Harissa, cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until ribs are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 3 hours. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer ribs to a large platter. Strain liquid into a fat separator, let sit briefly, and return to pot, discarding fat (or, skim off fat with a spoon). Bring to a boil over medium-high, cook until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, season with salt and pepper, and pour over ribs. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or sweet potato puree. #SmallBusinessOwner #CateringLife #Caterer #kushbysaba #chefsabawahidduffy".
