Күн бұрын

Meat Sauce or Ragu is classical Italian usually served with pasta. The short ribs are fatty and rich giving the sauce a great flavor and texture. Not classic, but delicious.

Short ribs are one of the best cuts of meat. you can do so many things with them. This sauce is something I like to make a big batch of and freeze.

Should I remove the silver skin when using short ribs for Ragu? I would think keeping that fat layer on would add more flavor.

I made this tonight for me and my girlfriend. I was running out of time because I'm terrible at time management and I was only able to keep it in the oven for 2 hours. I had to bring it to a boil to let some of the water evaporate. we both loved it with homemade fettuccine. a local italian shop even had rinds they gave me and some extra. definitely adding this to our "to make again list"

4:49 This is one of the clichés circulating around the world. We Italians, as you well know, only put garlic where it is needed and in the right quantity and not “a lot of garlic". Ciao from Italia ! 🇮🇹 👋

@Eric1SanDiego1 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with you both as well, and it does taste great that way. However, I think this is a case where both can be right, particularly since I'm American and am as obsessed about garlic as Frank is about salt. So I made yummy modifications. Fourth time I've made this btw. I used Merlot and Flat Iron Dark and Smokey pepper flakes. Should be amazing.

@Eric1SanDiego1 3 жыл бұрын

I'm about to make this for the second time. This time I'm using Merlot wine, and instead of Flat Iron Pepper flakes' traditional blend (a bit too spicy), I'm going to use their Smokey blend.

greetings from Wolverhampton UK! I made this recipe only I made a few adjustments; using roasted garlic as well as other things. I noticed the sauce had a more savoury foundation with the addition of the roasted garlic. It had more of a hum rather than the spice raw garlic tends to give.

Bring Lorenzo to help me put out a grease fire because I think that should be hilarious."

Hey Frank, thanks for the great video. I attempted this and I think my short ribs might be particularly fatty but I’ve got a massive amount of oil separation and was wondering how you might suggest to save it? Or would you just drain some of the oil even though it’s full of flavour? Thanks again 😁

Chef. I have amateur cook legit questions that nobody has answered specifically, as a chef. 😁 1. WTH exactly is "golden brown"?? I need a pic, if not an explanation. Golden & brown are not the same. Like a golden retriever & brown labrador. What looks like golden brown??? 2. WTH is "brown on all sides"?? Front & back? Front, back & edges/sides? If it's a 6-sided cubed meat, all 6 sides, or 2 sides enough??
