Method:

To braise the short ribs, heat 4 oz cooking oil in braising pan. When pan begins to smoke, add short ribs and brown on both sides. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme and rosemary to the pan and cook for 10 minutes. Deglaze with a bottle of wine and cook for another 10 minutes. Add demi-glace or brown sauce, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then season in refrigerator for 2 days. When ready, heat oven to 325 degrees. Cover short ribs and cook for 2 to 3 hours. On the stove, bring a quart of water to a boil and add salt. Trim beets and cook until tender. Drain sauce from the short ribs and degrease. Finish the sauce on the stove on a low simmer and thicken with arrowroot and 4 oz of water.

Heat butter in a pan until it begins to bubble and cook beets, baby carrots and beans until glazed. Serve with short ribs.
