Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Season beef short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove ribs and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaves, cooking for 2 minutes.
3
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in the non-alcoholic dark malt beverage (or beef broth/soy/balsamic mixture) and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
4
Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Bring back to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender and easily pull away from the bone.
5
While ribs are braising, boil potatoes: Place quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
6
Mash the drained potatoes with warm milk and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once ribs are done, remove them from the pot and skim any excess fat from the braising liquid. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes, spooning generous amounts of the rich braising liquid over top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, braised short ribs are excellent made a day in advance. The flavors deepen overnight. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven. Prepare the mashed potatoes fresh just before serving.

What can I substitute for the non-alcoholic dark malt beverage?

If you cannot find a non-alcoholic dark malt beverage, a good substitute is 500ml of good quality beef broth combined with 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. This combination provides a similar depth of flavor and color.

How do I ensure my mashed potatoes are extra creamy?

For extra creamy mashed potatoes, ensure you use warm milk and softened butter, and don't over-mash them, as this can make them gluey. Using a potato ricer also helps achieve a smooth texture.
