Jenner Tomaska's Red-⁠Wine Braised Short Ribs with Sauce Perigourdine and Celery Root Pave


4 Servings • 4 hours, plus 3 days curing, cooking, chilling • Red-Wine Braised Short Ribs

This elegant and composed dish rethinks classic elements. “It’s very like a beef stew but done in an elevated fashion,” says chef Jenner Tomaska.   Wagyu short rib is the basis of the braise. “It’s beautiful, unctuous, fall-apart meat,” he says.  

A truffle sauce sits at the base of the dish. “I bring the same philosophy to cooking any ingredients, whether it’s button mushrooms or truffles, beef or Wagyu,” says Jenner. “It’s always about the quality, the right ingredient for the right dish.”

Method

Short Rib

  1. Combine salt, sugar and all the peppers. Bury short ribs in cure for 8 hours.  

  2. Rinse off salt and pat dry. 

  3. Reduce red wine by half, then cool. 

  4. Place each short rib in a sous vide bag with half the red wine and half the butter.  Cook at 74C / 165F for 18 hours. 

  5. Chill and refrigerate overnight. 

Sauce Perigourdine

  1. Sweat the shallots and garlic with the butter.  

  2. Add the Cognac and reduce to au-sec.  

  3. Add in the veal jus and truffles. Simmer for 3-4 hours until a nappe.  

  4. Blend in Vitamix until smooth and add in truffle oil and salt. 

Celery Root Pave

  1. Peel celeriac (celery root). With a mandoline, slice 3mm / ⅛ in. strips.  

  2. Toss in melted butter, salt and pepper. 

  3. Line a pan with aluminium foil. Lay celeriac slices over each other in an even pattern, stacking them up. Cover with foil and bake at 190C / 375F for 45 minutes or until you can pierce with a knife with no resistance. Refrigerate overnight.  

  4. Cut into 7.5 x 2.5cm / 3 x 1 inch rectangles. 

  5. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron pan. Sear both sides of the pave. Season with salt and reserve.
