Party Bites: Recipes for Super Bowl 50

The matchup is set and Super Bowl 50 is shaping up to be one of two things: either an epic battle of an upstart quarterback (Cam Newton/Carolina Panthers) versus NFL royalty (Peyton Manning/Denver Broncos) in a close game; or, one of the most lopsided matchups in Super Bowl history (Panthers by 21). Whatever the outcome, February 7 is sure to be a party. Make that tailgate—or couch-gate—a hit with these recipes, a variety of handhelds that bring some serious flavor.

Super Bowl 50 party recipes - Drunken Shortribs, with Tomato Chili Sauce and Cabbage Lime Slaw - Chef Nancy Oakes - All-Clad Metalcrafters

Drunken Shortribs with Tomato Chili Sauce and Cabbage Lime Slaw

Ingredients

  • 8 lbs. beef chuck short ribs, boneless
  • 6 dried New Mexico chiles
  • 12 roma tomatoes, halved
  • 1 7 oz can of chipotle pepper in salsa adobo
  • 2 yellow onions quartered
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. cumin seed, toasted
  •  2 tbsp. coriander seed, toasted
  •  1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  •  1 bunch cilantro, sprigs picked from the stems and stems reserved
  •  1/4 cup oil
  •  1 bottle Repanso Tequila
  •  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  •  

Method:

Tomato-Chili Sauce

  1.  Wipe clean the dried chilies and remove the stems, seed and veins. Toast the chilies in a medium hot oven for a minute or two until they just start to change color, remove stems and seeds. Soak the toasted chilies in water for at least 30 minutes, drain and reserve the soaking water.
  2.  In a spice grinder, add the toasted cumin and coriander seeds. Grind into a fine powder.
  3.  In a blender, add the soaked chilies, tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cilantro stems. Add about 1 cup of the reserved soaking liquid and blend, add more liquid if necessary to obtain a very smooth & thick consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

 

Drunken Beef

  1. Blot the short ribs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt. Heat the dutch oven over medium high heat, add the oil and wait until it shimmers. Add the short ribs and brown on all sides, be patient, this will take a few minutes per side. Once the beef is browned, remove and set aside.
  2. Remove all but 4T. of oil from the pot and return to medium heat, add the reserved tomato-chili sauce, bring to a simmer and stir frequently, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the tequila, and then return short ribs to pot.
  3. Cover and place in 325°F oven. Cook for 2 hours, turning the short ribs over every once in a while. At 2 hours remove the lid, return to the oven to cook for 1/2 hour. This will reduce the sauce and deepen the color. Check for doneness by piercing the roast with a thin knife or fork. Once there is no resistance in the center, remove from the oven. Let cool in sauce. Degrease the sauce by ladling off any excess oil at the top. Adjust seasoning.
  4. To serve, remove the beef from the sauce, gently pull the warm beef apart with two forks, pour the warm tomato-chili sauce over the pulled beef.
