| Braised Short Ribs: | | Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Coat sauté pan with oil; heat just until oil begins to smoke. Sear short ribs on all sides until evenly browned.

Mix demi-glace and tomato paste with 4 cups water; pour over short ribs. Place parchment paper on top of short ribs, cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Bake in 350°F oven 2 1/2 hr. Cool, uncovered. Remove bones; place short ribs on sheet pan and refrigerate. (Tip: Strain braising liquid thru chinois, chill and skim fat. Save and blend with demi-glace to taste for next batch of short ribs.)
