Beef shorties with pr0n...

We have a tight race going on over in the Sweet and Spicy Throwdown. There are a bunch of great entries which can be seen and voted on here:

Please stop by, check it out and vote for your favorite. Please also think about getting involved in upcoming Throwdowns. We have a blast and always welcome more people.

Below is my entry. Beef Shorties with Pineapple Habanero sauce.

First off, the sweet and spicy sauce. Here are the ingredients for my habanero pineapple sauce (the habs are from my garden).

I removed the seeds and the membranes from the peppers and combined them with the fresh cubed pineapple.

I blended this all up and made the mistake of tasting it before adding anything else...

One word comes to mind... MOMMY!!! After chugging some milk, I added the rest of the ingedients and boiled and reduced for about half an hour. After that, it mellowed quite a bit and was good to go.

Now on to the beef short ribs... I picked up these beauties a while back and vacu-sucked and froze them for just such an occasion.

I seasoned them up with some Foil Hat rub and parsley and onto the Traeger they went with a hopper full of oak...

Here they are after about two hours at 275...

Once I took the pic above, I probed them and they were at about 160. I put a little beef consomme in the bottom of a foil pan, covered them and let them braise for another two hours. Here they are after the braise brushed with the pineapple habanero sauce. I let them go for about half an hour more to set the sauce.

And here we have the finished plate. I left three of the ribs whole and sliced up the fourth and brushed it with more sauce. I also made up some sides of Asian/Thai inspired slaw, grilled pineapple slices and brown basmati rice. In the foregound are a couple habaneros to eat for dessert...

And no dinner is complete without a fork shot...

The sauce had the right blend of sweet and spicy and was a great compliment to the beefy goodness of the shorties. I will definitely be making these again.

Thanks for taking the time to look this over.

I thought the pineapple TD doesn't start until this weekend?

You are correct Gore. This was from the "In a Mason Jar" TD

Gore · 10-24-2012, 08:20 PM

I don't see a Mason jar. He should be DQ'ed. What gives?

You are the man Mongo, I just decided that I'm making this exact dish for the pineapple TD. Thanks so much for the recipe! This throwdown stuff is getting sooo easy.

It went something like this-

Ingredients:
6 Habañero peppers
1 cup fresh pineapple
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup ? honey (kept adding until it toned down the habs)
1/4 cup molasses
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

It does, but I thought I'd give Jason an idea for his next win.

code3rrt · 10-25-2012, 08:27 AM

Great looking shorties and a great looking dish in general, sounds delicious!

gtr · 10-25-2012, 10:02 AM

That looks crazy good Al! The fork (actually it's a threek) shot is a classic! I think short ribs is my favorite beef cut these days.

deguerre · 10-25-2012, 10:20 AM

Meh. I already voted for you, you thread ho.

Thanks brother... I really do appreciate it.

Gore · 10-25-2012, 11:09 AM

I'm just wondering about the people raving about the fork shot. I just want to note that these are RIBS. I thought I was the only person who eats ribs with a fork (or chopsticks). While the fork shot is beautiful, I think more people voted against a RIB fork shot on principle. You'd probably have won this thing already if you hadn't included that one.
