Method of Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Dry short ribs with paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes each side. Remove browned short ribs to a plate and discard most of the fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons of fat.
  3. Lower the heat and add garlic cloves and leeks to the pan, cook to a golden brown, for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add Guinness beer, short ribs, beef broth, 1/4 cup of butter, sprig of rosemary, carrots and brussels sprouts.
  5. Bring to a boil, once boiling cover and transfer to the oven.
  6. While short ribs are cooking, place the Yukon gold potatoes in a large pot an cover with water. Cook potatoes for about 30 minutes. Strain potatoes and set aside. Place 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of butter in pot and heat over medium flame. Add Yukon gold potatoes and using a heavy whisk break up potatoes till smooth and creamy. Season with salt & pepper.
  7. Cook until short ribs are very tender about 3 hours.
  8. Remove the short ribs and vegetables and set aside. Strain The remaining liquid through a fine meshed sieve into a saucepan. Cook on a low heat till liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove any excess fat as the liquid is reducing. Season the sauce with salt & pepper.
  9. To serve place a scoop of potatoes in the center of the plate, place the short rib in the center, spoon some of the reduced braising liquid over the beef and arrange brussels sprouts and carrots around the short ribs. Garnish with fresh sliced lemon and radishes, enjoy!
