\n<\/b>Back in the day before the advent of bottled marinades, just about everyone’s Dad had a go to marinade recipe. This one is based on Dad\u2019s old recipe and it\u2019s got that sweet, sticky flavour that reminds you of countless summertime braais around the pool. To celebrate this Heritage Day we\u2019re slathering it on some chunky beef short ribs and serving it with some good old fashioned corn on the cob.<\/p>\n

Serves:<\/strong> 6
\nDifficulty:<\/strong>\u00a0medium
\nPrep time:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a045 minutes
\nCooking time:<\/strong>\u00a02 hours and 45 minutes<\/p>\n

The marinade<\/strong>
\n<\/b>knob of butter
\n1 large onion, finely diced
\n2 garlic cloves, finely diced
\nknob of ginger, finely grated
\n1 tsp (5 ml) dried rosemary
\n1 tsp (5 ml) dried thyme
\n1 tsp (5 ml) dried parsley
\n2 C (500 ml) Coke
\n\u00be C (190 ml) tomato sauce
\n\u00be C (190 ml) chutney
\n2 Tbsp (30 ml) soya sauce
\njuice of 1 lime<\/p>\n

The ribs<\/strong>
\n<\/b>6 large beef short ribs
\nsalt and pepper
\ncanola oil, for frying
\n5 cloves garlic
\n5 sprigs of thyme
\n6 C (1 \u00bd litres) good quality beef stock<\/p>\n

The mielies<\/strong>
\n<\/b>3 mielies, cut into quarters
\n100 g butter, melted
\nsmall handful of chives<\/p>\n

The marinade<\/strong>
\n<\/b>In a medium size saucepan over a medium heat, fry the onions in the knob of butter until they soften and begin to colour. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another minute. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine. Bring the saucepan to the boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the marinade thickens.<\/p>\n

The ribs<\/strong>
\n<\/b>Preheat the oven to 180 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Season the beef well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Sear the beef, two pieces at a time, until you have a seared crust on all sides. This step is crucial for flavour so don\u2019t rush it! Take your time and sear the meat as you would a steak. The better the crust the better the flavour.<\/p>\n

Place the garlic and thyme into a large roasting tray and arrange the ribs on top. Add the stock until the ribs are almost half covered. Seal tightly with heavy duty foil and braise in the oven for 2 hours. At the 2 hour mark, check the ribs and if they are not fork tender then braise for a further 30-45 mins. When the ribs are fork tender remove them from the oven and allow to cool.<\/p>\n

The mielies<\/strong>
\n<\/b>In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, boil the mielies in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain the water and add the butter and chives to the saucepan. Toss to coat the mielies and set aside.<\/p>\n

To serve<\/strong>
\n<\/b>Remove the ribs from cooking liquid and paint with the marinade. Finish over the braai or grill to caramelise the marinade. Remember to baste as you turn the ribs to build up a sticky caramelised crust. Finish the mieles over a hot braai or grill to give them some colour. Serve and enjoy!<\/p>\n
