They are cooking in the ceramic covered cast iron casserole on the
induction cooker.

So far it smells heavenly. I think the induction cooker's temp settings
are a bit low. Their "medium-low" is about 20 degrees to low, but I'm
learning to adapt.

Will make mashed red potato for that lovely gravy.

Had an open bottle of Hill Country Tempranillo and used that for the
wine, so it should have a lot of body in that gravy.

The frying temps on the induction thing are dead-on accurate. One of
these days I'm going to make some coconut shrimp, then I'll cry because
it was one of Barry's favorites.

Beef braised in red wine is probably my very favorite dish. Add mashed potatoes and you are in heaven. Wish I was there to have some !

Wish you were, too. I'd have loved the company.

BTW, there are leftovers.

Sounds like a wonderful dinner! You're getting a lot of use out of that
induction cooker.

That's sad, but at least you have all the good memories.

We had short ribs tonight, too!

Braised with mirepoix in some beef stock, Robert Mondavi Cab, and
strained tomatoes. Served on a bed of polenta.

I think this is just about my favourite food. Too bad sort ribs are so
expensive.

Remember when short ribs and flank steak were poor people food and were dead cheap?
And cube steak. What happened?

People discovered they're good! Then restaurants started using them and
the prices soared.

Does your induction hob have an automatic shut-off after some number of
hours?

Many of them do...

Yup, I blame chefs for it. Chefs are always looking for ways to stand out and the cheap cuts were a way to make them noticed by the media. They ruined it for the rest of us....and fajitas are the culprits for the rise in price of flank steak too. dammit ;-)

It does and I am trying to figure out how to bypass it. Also trying to
figure out how to use the timer. Directions are not easy to follow

At least 20 years ago, I remember complaining to the butcher in NJ about
how short ribs had gone up in price and were almost never available. He
said the Koreans were buying them up as soon as they got a shipment.

Being close to Buffalo, it was hot wings that did the same for chicken
wings around here. They were dirt cheap here before bars learned that
wings were a cheap and easy way to sell lots more beer.
My wife used to make amazing ox tail stew, but now we can get a nice
steak for less and not have all the other work and expense to prepare.

The poor folks couldn't keep it to themselves, they had to boast how
good it was.
