Made with beets, cabbage, onions and three meats including a smokey kielbasa sausage, salt pork and a nice shank of beef, a good Russian Borscht is winter comfort food that is as rich in aroma and falvour as it is in colour. A soup from my eastern bloc roots.
How to warm up on a cold winter night, just wrap yourself around a big pot of Texas-Style Chili. Rather than using ground meat and sauteing, we use a blade roast and slowly braise it until it’s pull-apart tender for big, beefy texture and big chili flavour.
Slow simmered over low heat to a tender, sweet finish, these short ribs are loosely based on a Korean stew called ‘Galbi Jim’. A shot of coffee adds tannins to breakdown the fibers of the meat and make the sauce rich and dark. Cook them on the stove or pop them in the slow cooker and come home to dinner.
It’s comfort food season, a chilly day found me in the kitchen whipping-up a batch of spaghetti & meatballs, singing “On Top of Spaghetti” and pondering the nature of the sobriety of those writing children’s songs.
This isn’t a complicated dish. It’s simple, hardworking food. Beef short ribs are an underrated cut of meat. At first glace they’re just short, fatty, bone-in chunks of beef. But treat them with respect and a bit of love and you have rich, flavorful, tender fall-off-the-bone, beefy goodness.
