Starting two years ago I made a lifestyle change. I decided to quit the yoyo dieting and really do something to lose weight and feel better. I met with an amazing Nutritionist and Life Coach Michelle. http://www.perfectbalancehealthcoach.com/ .She helped me find the perfect nutrition plan. For me the choice was Paleo. Paleo: to eat like a caveman, no dairy, no grains, no legumes, no processed foods or sugars. Natural. For me it was a life changer. So the recipes I traditionally will share with you fit under the Paleo lifestyle. The one I share tonight is one of my favorites, one I prepare often on Sundays after church. I have several variations, so if you learn the process you can change up the flavor profile. I hope you like it.
Braised-One Pot short Ribs:
Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs. of beef short ribs
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 1 tsp of sea salt
- 2 tsp of coconut oil
- 1 med. onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 2T balsamic vinegar
- 1 c of red wine
- 4 cups of homemade beef broth or organic low-sodium beef broth
- 2 portabella mushrooms
*Tip: to have meat brown nicely remove it to room temperature and pat dry
Pre-heat over to 325. In a large stock pot-dutch oven place oil, onion and garlic. Sautee until translucent. Remove from pot add meat. (you may need to do in batches). Brown the meat on all sides. Remove the meat and deglaze the pot with your wine and vinegar. Add the broth and your herbs, salt and pepper. Let come to a boil. Place your meat, onions and garlic back in pot. Cover completely with your mushrooms. Place lid on the pot and put in oven. Let cook approximately 3-4 hrs., checking every once in a while to check liquid level. If needed you can add more broth. Cook until the ribs are fork tender. Remove from heat serve with nice cauliflower mash and veggies.
You will love this one pot wonder.
