Description
Bone-in beef short ribs crusted with black pepper and coriander, smoked low and slow, and served over roasted corn hash with a pickled golden pepper salad.
Ingredients
Scale
For the short ribs:
- 1 cup coarsely ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds, crushed
- 2 tbsp salt
- 6 bone-in beef short ribs
For the pickled golden pepper salad:
- 12 yellow baby peppers, seeded and cut into ¼-inch rings
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 fennel bulb, quartered and shaved thin
- 3 oranges, peeled and cut into segments
- ½ cup parsley, roughly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the roasted corn hash:
- 10 ears corn, shucked and cleaned
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 medium-large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch dice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup onion, small diced
- ½ cup red pepper, small diced
Instructions
For the short ribs:
- Preheat the smoker or grill to 265 degrees, or medium-low heat.
- Mix the pepper, coriander, and salt. Coat the short ribs evenly with the seasoning.
- Smoke the ribs 3½ hours at 265 degrees, or cook over medium-low indirect heat on the grill.
- When the meat is tender but not falling off the bone, wrap each rib in butcher paper or foil. Return to the smoker or grill 30 minutes more. If the meat darkens before it becomes tender, wrap it early and let it finish cooking wrapped.
- Remove the wrapped ribs and let rest at least 15 minutes. Keep warm until plating.
For the pickled golden pepper salad:
- In a medium bowl, combine the peppers, sugar, vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Just before plating, add the fennel, orange segments, and parsley and toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
For the roasted corn hash:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill the corn, turning, until lightly charred on all sides. Let cool, then cut the kernels from the cobs.
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- When the potatoes begin to soften, add the onion and red pepper. Sauté, stirring often, until evenly cooked.
- Add the corn and continue cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly golden. Adjust the seasoning and keep warm.
To plate:
- Place 2-3 tablespoons corn hash in the center of each plate.
- Set 1 short rib on top of the hash.
- Divide the pepper salad among the plates and drizzle with the liquid from the bowl.
Notes
Doneness: The ribs are ready when a probe slides in easily, usually 200-205 degrees inside.
Gas grill: Use indirect heat and a smoker box of soaked wood chips.
Make ahead: Season the ribs and pickle the peppers the night before.
Dairy-free: Cook the hash in olive oil instead of butter.
