Beef Short Ribs With Vegetables
(Crock Pot version)

3 lb Beef short ribs;cut in serving-sized pieces
2 ts Salt
1 ts Accent
1/8 ts Pepper
1/3 c Fat
1 md Onion;thinly sliced
2 c Hot water
1/2 lb Green beans
6 md Potatoes; halved
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Accent
1/8 ts Pepper
12 Stalks celery;cut in 3" slices

Season meat with salt and pepper and Accent. Heat fat on HIGH in
crockpot. Coat meat evenly with fat. Add remaining ingredients;
cover. Cook on LOW for 8 1/2-9 1/2 hrs.

-------

Braised Short Ribs of Beef
Servings: 4
Prep. Time: about 3 1/2 hours

Amount/Measure/Ingredient

8 Beef short ribs, about 5 pounds, tied with butcher's twine to
hold the bones in place during and after cooking
1 cup flour for dredging
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground white pepper
1 cup carrots, diced 1/2 inch
1 cup celery, diced 1/2 inch
2 cups onions, diced 1/2 inch
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 bay leaf
1 cup diced tomatoes
2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. paprika
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 stalk fresh rosemary
2 bottles beer, Sam Adams or Heineken
1 quart rich veal stock
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Cornstarch mixture for thickening---3 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved
in 1/4 cup cold water, it must be a smooth mixture. You need to
stir the pan juices immediately with a whisk when the cornstarch
mixture is added to prevent lumps.

Preparation:

Wash the short ribs in cold water to remove any bone chips and
towel dry with paper towels. Coat (dredge) with flour, salt and
white pepper mixture. Place in a roasting pan on a bed of diced
carrots, celery and onions. Roast at 450° F. for 1 1/2 hours,
turning several times to brown evenly. Remove from the pan and
place in a Dutch oven on the stove; strain off any fat that may
have accumulated.

Heat on high heat until it begins to sizzle. Add the garlic, bay
leaf, diced tomatoes, ground black pepper, salt, paprika, fresh
thyme, rosemary and beer. Bring to a boil for one minute. Add the
veal stock, return to the boil, reduce the heat so the liquid
simmers. Cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil and simmer
for 1 1/2 hours or until the ribs are fork tender. Remove the ribs
from the pot and place in a serving bowl, cover loosely with
plastic wrap and keep warm. Skim any fat off the liquid in the
pot, return the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer and whisk in
the cornstarch mixture, stirring continually until lightly
thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Uncover the short ribs, remove the
twine and strain the sauce over the warm short ribs, sprinkle with
fresh chopped parsley and serve. They are delicious with any
accompaniment and even with a loaf of freshly baked crusty bread.

Subject: Lasagna Recipe


Here is an absolute FAVORITE recipe that I make for my family
and friends. They love it and request it a lot!

Creamy Beef Lasagna

1-1/2 Pounds Ground Beef
2 Cans (15 ozs each) tomato sauce
1/4 Cup chopped onion
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 pkgs (8ozs each) cream cheese, softened
1 Cup (8ozs) sour cream
1/4 Cup milk
18 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 Cup (4ozs) cheddar cheese, shredded

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink;
drain. Stir in tomato sauce, onion, sugar, salt. In a mixing
bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream and milk until smooth. In
a greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish, layer a fourth of the meat
sauce, six noodles and a third of cream cheese mixture. Repeat
layers twice. Top with remaining meat sauce. Cover and
bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with
cheddar cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 12 Servings

***NOTE***
I prefer to use uncooked noodles and lay them out. You have to let
it cook a little longer, but you will know when it is done
cooking.
The noodles soak up the flavors of the sauce and spices. It also
makes spreading the cheese mixture a lot easier.

Also, I tend to add another can or two of the tomato sauce. I
always seem to come up short on sauce.

You can also add mushrooms, olives, or italian sausage. Put in it
what you like. Make it to your taste buds.

Enjoy!
