Beef Short Ribs & Carrot cake

[Deb]

Left for the store last night to buy a pork roast for today, I wasn't in the mood for the traditional ham or lamb, somewhere between here and there it changed to short ribs.....

when I got home I started dinner on the MAK and as soon as that came out carrot cake went in...

sprinkled the short ribs with some rosemary, thyme, black pepper and into a bag with some red wine for an overnight soak

this morning.....ribs, cream cheese, butter out of the fridge.......

short ribs dried, sprinkled with some black pepper and some BPS Double Secret

over a pool of wine, carrots, shallots, onion, garlic and some herbs

into the MAK, cream cheese frosting made.........

in the MAK on smoke for an hour, then 250 until they had good color

into a dutch oven with the wine/veggies & some beef broth

frosted the cake

pulled the short ribs out of the dutch oven and dutch oven into the beer fridge to cool down and separate the fat , fat skimmed and the juice reduced and thickened with a little butter/flour

started some polenta, finished it with some 2yo raw milk cheddar (smoked in the MAK a few months ago)

all plated

all I have to say is wow......

Awesome cook Deb, pretty hard to beat a meal that finishes with carrot cake!

Deb,
Another outstanding meal! The main course would normally be enough to make anyone happy, but the carrot cake takes the meal to a new level.
