Corzo Tequila ... yes, and a food pairing. This trickle, bubble, swirl and simmer sauce is enhanced with pomegranate sauce, reduced with veal stock, cinnamon and vanilla. Ladled generously over, under and through braised short ribs.
POMEGRANATE SHORT RIBS
15 pieces bone-in short ribs (about 6 pounds)
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 inch pieces ginger cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup Anejo Corzo Tequila
1 cups tomato paste
3 cups hearty red wine
2 cups beef both
2 cups pomegranate molasses
3 inch piece of ginger, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 bunch fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 cup veal stock
Season each short rib generously with salt. Coat a pot large enough to accommodate all the meat and vegetables. Add to the pan the olive oil and bring to a high heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and brown very well, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, if necessary. Remove vegetables and set aside and brown short ribs in same manner.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, add the vegetables, tequila, stock, wine, tomato paste, ginger, herbs and 1 cup pomegranate molasses. Reduce the mixture by half.
Cover the pan and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Turn the ribs over halfway through the cooking time. Remove the lid during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When done the meat should be very tender but not falling apart. Remove from oven and cool overnight in the refirgerator. To serve, remove fat from top of pan, remove short ribs and set aside. Strain the liquid and return to the heat. Add 1 cup pomegranate molasses and 1 cup veal stock and reduce liquid by half. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Enjoy!
