  INGREDIENTS
  FOR THE SHORT RIBS

• 1 Onion, finely minced

• 1 Bay leaf

• 1 Large carrot, finely diced

• 200g fresh or frozen peas

METHOD
Prepare the short ribs

1. Preheat your oven to 160ºC.
   Season your short ribs with salt and pepper. 
   Over medium-high heat, drizzle some olive oil in a skillet or ovenproof casserole. When the oil starts fuming, carefully roast the ribs, fat side down first. Allow them to roast a couple of minutes on each side until evenly golden brown. Reserve.
   2. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms with the aromatics (bay leaf, garlic, peppercorns, and thyme). Mix well and allow the mushroom to cook and most of their moisture to evaporate.
   3. Add the onions, stir well to coat in the oil evenly and cook until completely softened.
   When the onions start to turn golden, add a ladle of warm stock, simmer and reduce.
   4. Add the ribs fat side down. Pour additional beef stock to level with the ingredients. Cover and place in the oven.
   5. Cook for 3.5 to 4h depending on the size of your ribs. Turn them half way through cooking.

   Prepare the stew
   1. Once the ribs are cooked, place the casserole on the hob.
   Reserve the ribs on a plate, scoop out the onions and mushrooms into a bowl and strain the remaining jus into a small saucepan.
   2. Warm the beef stock in the saucepan over medium - low heat.
   3. In the meantime, prepare the stew: in a separate pan over medium heat, drizzle some olive oil and cook the onions with the bay leaf until softened. Season with salt.
   Add the carrots, stir well and cook for  8-10 minutes. Add a ladle of beef stock to moisten the pan.
   Add the mushrooms and onions and enough stock to level with the ingredients.
   4. Place the short ribs on top of the carrot & pea stew, keep covered.

   5. Once the beef jus has reduced by at least half, it should be syrupy and silky. Generously (for whats left of it, probably a couple of tablespoons) pour it over the ribs to glaze them.

   Serve warm, eat quick!
