Chef Big DA decadent, keto-friendly masterpiece featuring 48-hour brined short ribs smoked over post oak, finished with a rich bone marrow infused gremolata and a silky red wine reduction.
Season the short ribs aggressively with salt, pepper, and porcini powder. Let them sit uncovered in the fridge for at least 4 hours to develop a dry brine.
Preheat your offset smoker to 225°F (107°C) using post oak or hickory. Smoke the ribs until they reach an internal temperature of 203°F and the bark is stunningly dark.
While the ribs smoke, roast your marrow bones at 400°F for 15 minutes. Scoop the marrow and whip it together with the parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Set aside.
For the reduction: In a copper saucier, sauté shallots until translucent. Add red wine and thyme, reducing by 75% until syrupy. Whisk in cold butter one cube at a time to create a glossy emulsion.
Rest the meat for at least 45 minutes. This is non-negotiable. Slice and top with a generous dollop of the bone marrow gremolata and a drizzle of the red wine reduction.
The key to this dish is the contrast between the primal, smoky bark of the short rib and the velvety, refined texture of the bone marrow gremolata. Ensure your short ribs are well-marbled; the fat is where the flavor lives. If your emulsion breaks, don't panic—whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to bring it back to life. Stay hungry, stay witty.
