PREPARATION
Steps
1
When ready to cook, set the temperature to 400 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop and add the fennel, leek, onion, celery and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine.
3
Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tbsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the skillet.
4
Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in a Dutch oven and add the brown sugar and beef stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake in Z Grill for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
5
Carefully remove the short ribs from the Dutch oven and set aside. Discard the herbs. Continue to cook the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for 20 minutes, until reduced.
6
Put the ribs back into the pot and heat through. Serve with the vegetables and sauce. Enjoy!
