50g shelled unsalted walnut halves

🍲 How To Make Jamie Oliver Beef Short Rib

Preheat the Oven: Turn your oven on to 160°C (325°F or gas mark 3).
Brown the Ribs: Place a large, shallow casserole dish on a medium-high heat. Use tongs to turn and brown the ribs for about 15 minutes.
Prepare the Vegetables: Trim the ends of the celery and use a vegetable peeler to remove the stringy outer layer. Cut off the bottom 12cm of each stalk and slice these lengthways into quarters. Finely chop the remaining stalks, saving any nice leaves for garnish later. For the carrots, simply peel them and leave them whole.
Cook Vegetables and Nuts: Remove the ribs from the dish and set them aside. Add the celery, carrots, walnuts, and onion marmalade to the pan. Stir well to coat everything. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Add Liquids and Ribs: Pour in 500ml of ale and add enough water to just cover the ingredients (about 500ml). Put the ribs back into the pan, making sure they are submerged.
Roast: Cover the dish with a damp piece of baking paper. Place in the oven and roast for 4 hours. The meat should be tender and easy to pull away from the bone. Halfway through, baste the ribs with the cooking liquid.
Bake Potatoes: During the last 90 minutes of roasting, scrub the potatoes and prick them all over with a fork. Bake them in the oven alongside the ribs.
Serve: Remove any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Take out the bones and any tough parts. Serve the ribs with a dollop of creamed horseradish and sprinkle over the reserved celery leaves. Have the baked potatoes on the side.

💭 Recipe Tips:

Brown the Ribs Well: Make sure to brown the ribs on all sides. This step helps lock in the flavors and makes the ribs juicy and delicious.
Choose Good Marmalade and Ale: Use quality onion marmalade and smooth ale that tastes good with beef. These add great flavors to your dish.
Cook Slowly: Cook the ribs in the oven slowly as the recipe says. Slow cooking makes the meat very tender and mixes the flavors well.
Taste Before Serving: Try the sauce before you serve it. Add more salt or pepper if you need to. This makes sure your dish tastes perfect.
