Yemenite Short Ribs
Ingredients
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 (5-pound) beef short rib plates (3 ribs per plate)
Fermented Serrano Schug
1 pound serrano chiles, stemmed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Directions
Whisk together salt, turmeric, black pepper, and cumin in a
medium bowl until blended. Rub mixture evenly over short rib plates. Place rib
plates, bone sides down, on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet.
Chill, uncovered, 8 hours or up to overnight. Remove short ribs, and let stand
until ribs come to room temperature, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 250°F. Transfer short ribs on rack in baking
sheet to preheated oven, and cook, uncovered, until meat is tender but not
falling apart and a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers
190°F, 5 hours and 30 minutes to 6 hours and 30 minutes. (Alternatively, to
test for doneness, use a paring knife to pierce the meat between the bones.
There should be no resistance.) Remove ribs from oven, tent with aluminum foil,
and let rest 30 minutes. Carve each rib plate into individual ribs, and serve
with schug.
Meanwhile, make the Fermented Serrano Schug
Place chiles and salt in a food processor; process until
mixture is slightly coarse and loose, 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds,
stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Transfer to an airtight container. Let
stand at room temperature for 3 days. (If desired, transfer to refrigerator and
chill up to 1 week.)
Just before serving, add lemon juice, olive oil, and
coriander to schug, and stir until blended.
