Short Ribs Beignet Truffles
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. oil
- 3 three-inch short ribs
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 rib of celery, chopped
- ¼ cup tomato puree
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sprigs parsley
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 1 pint beef stock
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 T each salt and freshly ground black
- ½ cup Pickled Red Onion (keep aside till after short ribs are cooked)
Batter Recipe
- 2 cups Bisquick
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
In a very hot pan, heat oil and brown short ribs on all sides. Remove ribs and set aside. Reserve. Add vegetables and brown over medium heat until well darkened. Add tomato puree and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add red wine and deglaze pan. Add the herbs, the beef stock and the reserved short ribs and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until meat is tender (three to four hours, adding additional stock if necessary).
Strain sauce but do not press on vegetables. Cool. Once cooled pulse in KitchenAid to leave beef a little chunky. Fold in pickled red onions.
Scoop 1 Tablespoon of short rib mixture and roll into truffle sized balls. Place on parchment or wax paper-lined sheet pans. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Freeze the short rib balls till hard(approximately 1 hour). Mix the batter recipe, making sure to whisk it well so that there are no lumps in the mixture. Dip the short rib balls into the batter and fry till golden brown. Enjoy!
