Mahogany Short Ribs
4 servings
The prune juice tenderizes the marbled ribs of beef, while the teriyaki sauce adds sweetness and salt. If you're serving wine, a California zinfandel makes a perfect match. Adapted from "Recipes 1-2-3," by Rozanne Gold (Viking, 1996).
3 pounds bone-in or boneless beef shortribs, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup prune juice
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Place the meat in a lidded container and cover with a mixture of the teriyaki sauce and prune juice. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 day.
Remove the ribs from the marinade, and set aside. In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the marinade, water and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, add the meat and cover. Cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender or falls away from the bone.
Transfer the cooked shortribs to a platter. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sauce for 5 minutes, or until it is syrupy. Pour it over the meat, and serve hot. To reheat, remove any congealed fat from the top of the sauce and slowly warm the ribs in the liquid.
