Braised Beef Short Ribs

Braised beef short ribs, horseradish mayonnaise and (optional) veal demi-glace.

March 20, 2017 | | Main Dishes

Chef Jason Perkins of Ray’s 3rd Generation Bistro Bakery drew the inspiration for his Yorkshire Pudding stuffed with Braised Beef Short Ribs from a restaurant meal he enjoyed last year in Port Dover – a full prime rib dinner which, as often happens, left the Yorkshire pudding sidelined as too filling for an already big meal. “I thought it might be nice just on its own,” he recalls. “It might be all you need.”

He has made the light-as-air popovers the star. For the filling, the rib meat (braised in the Black Oak nut brown ale, on tap there), mashed potatoes, sharp cheese, horseradish mayo and demi-glace are the supporting cast.
