Carla's Slow Roasted Short Ribs with Melted Peppers

This week I'm bringing you what I hope is a very scintillating alternative to braised short ribs. Slow-roasting is one of my most treasured hands-off techniques, and I use it on everything from whole chickens and chicken legs to winter squash and, in this case, short ribs.
Slow roasting is a dry heat method, unlike braising, which is a wet heat method. The key in either case is to cook the meats gently enough to cause their inter-muscular fats and cartilage to melt away, while simultaneously causing the proteins to soften (instead of seizing and tightening, which can happen with high-heat methods).
With slow roasting (or at least, my version!), you season the ribs with dry spices and then ... stick them in the oven. Unlike braising, there's no browning, no bubbling, no babysitting. They come out tender as a kitten's undercarriage and you walk away with a concentrated pan jus for spooning over. This is so tailor-made for holiday entertaining, it's RIDICULOUS.
The only trick here is asking your butcher to cross-cut the short ribs into 5-inch lengths. If that's not an option, the standard 2- or 3-inch pieces of ribs will totally work, and they might even cook in less time.

I love how Carla is always suprised at how delicious something is, even tho she's the one who just made it 🤣💕

[@hammerdick82]

Shes like me which is why she remains one of the select few from buzzfeed that i still watch. The pure joy of a well cooked dish is never ignorable. Ive made great steaks/briskets/you name it, for years,but everytime i take the first bite, i still do exactly as she does and get as happy each time. Otherwise whats the point?

[@hammerdick82]

And not to discount her recipes, ive made her pork rib recipe multiple times to widespread fanfare each time

[@davidgrossman7965]

Yup. Acting at its finest.

[@maya-gur695]

I love how she references all the winter holidays so that nobody feels left out.

[@dROUDebateMeCowards]

I love how she was in charge of staffing for a famously racist organization while it was famously racist.

[@GodRabbit90]

@@dROUDebateMeCowards Wait, what? Do you have more details?

[@dROUDebateMeCowards]

​@@GodRabbit90 She was a managing editor during the time the bad stuff happened. Or some similar title which implies she was making personnel decisions. The racism stuff is well documented.

[@Ozzie-in-CT]

Get a life folks or at least find out the facts before you bloviate. Editor in Chief Adam Rapoport was the dude responsible for most of that crap and he died a grisly professional death. Carla was one of the people who quit working at Bon Appetit over the issues. How many of you would quit your prestigious job for your principles. Give the gal some seriously deserved credit.

[@matthewhoresta4908]

Festivus and fisher people make me feel safe and welcome in this space

[@aaronciccone2791]

The fact that Carla has a Festivus pole is my favorite thing in the world.

[@RobertPeters4674]

"a Festivus for the rest of us".🤣

[@JT-vg1qn]

Thank you so much for this recipe my picky eater son absolutely loves this dish! "Are they done yet? Are they done?"

[@aimeewynhausen9924]

Carla makes us all feel better about the accidents that may or may not happen in the kitchen.

[@hbp867]

I made this for Christmas Eve dinner along with the pomegranate parsley tabbouleh - OMG! Hands down one of the best Christmas dinners I have ever made. Honestly woman, this is terrific. How can all of your recipes be so good?!? People out there, make this. So Flippin good.

[@thestylesynonym5757]

Dang. Send an invite to me next year! I want to be warming my feet under your dining table!

[@HamCubes]

Brava, Carla! The dusting of horseradish snow over the pelted meppers is nothing short of _inspired!_ 🙏😸👌

[@sarahwotaszak563]

Oh, wow! What an innovative way to cook short ribs. I also really appreciate how you always make a point to suggest alternative ingredients, that’s so helpful and thoughtful😊 happy holiday season, Carla & production team!

[@andrewmccrea37]

Wow, this sounds and looks incredible. Can't wait to try- Carla's one of the only chefs where I actually make recipes all the time and they've been absolutely stunning each time. My favourites are the Pork and Beans and the Flash-in-a-Pan Chicken.

[@yvonne9112]

Thank you Carla! My family really enjoyed the short ribs especially my son-in-law. Fantastic!!

[@grainofsalt2113]

You always have the most creative concepts. Love this

[@klefdnb]

I just found your channel and I was loving the short ribs recipe and suddenly you mentioned Festivus. Festivus for the rest of us!!!! I love you now!

[@OneOlive1]

These look amazing!

[@ursaknight]

I just made this tonight; came out delicious!

[@Kievlar]

The end result looks stunner!

[@wanderboytravels4377]

carla is a delight to watch

[@MrVst1]

Looks great. I'm going to try this.

[@mattstanton2175]

She called me a riblet!!! 🥹 That is so cute

[@Lexterlexx]

She snapped on this one.

[@jordansalazar846]

Fisher people. Love it. Thank you.

[@glentanner4770]

Dang Carla, those ribs look so tender and delicious. They look like there packed with flavor, so awesome.

[@JoshASkater]

8 min in and 2 Seinfeld references, this will now be my go to Holiday Video

[@JessieTPNewyen]

MAMA CARLA!!! The shoutout to witches!!! ❤❤

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

This little riblet just ordered 3kg of Surimi.... (seafood extender)... I love that stuff! I have a recent tradition of making laksa on Boxing day so it will go nice in that along with stock made from a lobster head and legs!

[@tpn1110]

Carla this recipe feels like a job for a 9x13 baking dish with handles so you don’t have to struggle so much 😂

[@georginaboateng4901]

Thankyou Carla

[@kristinaginorio1344]

my mouth is watering

[@seamus9750]

Added to my bucket list. Caveman food!!

[@Hannah-pq2hg]

I’m making this for Christmas

[@kimsummers]

SHORT RIB EVERYTHING

[@absenceofgravitas]

the star anise really makes this recipe! don't skip it!

[@bonniezuckerman2121]

There was shrinkage. 😂 Love the ref. Going to make this tonight.

[@FloridaFox]

the editing on this one lol. the drumroll as she put the short ribs back in the oven hahaha

[@GuagoFruit]

Everytime I've cooked beef short rib, I've regretted how much I cooked because it is soooooo fatty to the point of being sickening. But I will try this recipe anyway because this looks great.

[@mblind]

editor, +1. we see you.

[@Obsidian9]

Merry Christmas!

[@John-by6jw]

This looks great! Too bad short ribs are so damn expensive.

[@egarhavok5143]

Love the Seinfeld references. 😂

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Go to an Asian grocery store for short ribs. Readily available, better price.

[@crystallinecrisis3901]

Everyone enjoy your Solstice-adjacent festivities

[@sh-nd4cs]

Carla..what would be a substitute for an egg yolk? Just the yoke

[@edmalouf]

Oven temperature?

[@ebadd3468]

Go Carla, plz remake your burger recipe!

[@dbljinc664]

Anyone else almost pass out from the stress of her mishandling of the ribs

[@ackack612]

...saMOKIN'! (am I the only one who wishes he had Carla's oven? do you remember the BA vids shot in her Mom's kitchen with the built-in, brick I think, pizza oven? It just doesn't get much better)

[@independent4570]

That’s like $200 in short ribs!

[@Hylabrook22]

Is this recipe two hours or three? The key moments say three but the video progression shows two.

[@CarlaLalliMusic123]

90 minutes covered plus 90 minutes uncovered, add time (20 to 30 mins) if the ribs are not very very tender at the 3 hour mark!

[@Hylabrook22]

@@CarlaLalliMusic123 thanks! I made it today and it turned out wonderfully! I didn't have star anise on its own but I used a couple teaspoons of Chinese five spice instead and it worked great.

[@njmcmullen]

*At this point* count?

[@jjseandxcefree]

i'm like...yeah...like..uhm...yeah...hmmm...and like yeah.

[@christinamatzen4214]

Carla, how DARE you make this recipe and show us and not even warn us that if we decide to watch the video at 10pm on a random Sunday night we may end up trying to nibble on our poor partner just lying beside us trying to sleep?!?! Sure, I can go to the store tomorrow and make this tomorrow night but that is just not soon enough. PLEASE! Next time, a warning. That’s the kind thing to do.

[@skyerune]

Mm. MMM!

[@dabearcub]

Note to the camera crew, the side profile shot where the subject is looking away from the camera is played out and in a few years will be hilariously outdated.

[@rebeccabrandt2505]

I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

[@elrey8876]

WHY does the knife look like it's struggling to cut through the cooked rib? I'm sorry but that's not a promising start.

[@lovingthelessloved3679]

I'm vegan. Why the fck did I watch this whole video?!?!? 🤷‍♀️🤢😵🥰😘🤣
