Short Rib recipes and recipe searching advice

I typed up this email for a friend after he bought some short ribs the other night. Thought "I don't update this site enough anyway- might as well pin it here for posterity"

So, some links to short rib recipes as well as some advice on how I seaerch for recipes:

So, this Food wishes site was like the first blog that really helped me improve my cooking game- because he has videos so you can see what the meat/veggies should look like at certain points of the cooking process- you get a better idea of timing and how to mix things and everything else. So, I usually start my searches for a new dish with this guy- to get a base idea of how it should be made- then I go look at the second site I’ll show, where other recipes will have extra ingredients, and that’s how I eventually come up with perfecting my own style of recipes. So bookmark this guy’s site:  http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/

Here is the secondary site where it searches your term across thousands of food blogs and returns the most popular hits/recipes. So I usually read 5-10 recipe results and formulate my own idea of how the recipe will go when I try it: http://foodblogsearch.com/

So, from the first, here are some recipes, where one is a lamb shank recipe, but you could just sub the beef you bought and do the same- sounds pretty sweet if you just sub balsamic vinegar for whatever saba is supposed to be:



As you can see in this second one, there is a lot of vinegar in the marinade, so my guess that vinegar would play a big part was actually maybe accurate??? Ha. So, in both, you could use a crockpot instead of simmering/baking for 3 hours in each case.

He even has a recipe for my Korean short rib recipe now!! http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2011/04/grilled-korean-style-beef-short-ribs.html

This one seems like the traditional type recipe you’ll find in a Martha Stewart cookbook or on Food Network recipe search: http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2010/01/sherry-braised-beef-short-ribs-stick.html





Aaaaaanyway- then I go to the foodblog search site and see if there are any interesting headlines, - sometimes I’ll see an Indian spin on the recipe or basically some other style of the dish:



I add root beer to the search term short rib- oooooh nelly! I bet your adult root beer would be AWESOME with those short ribs after braising/crockpotting : http://noblepig.com/2010/04/root-beer-short-ribs/



So yea, just invite me over while/after you cook it…
