Short Rib Braised in Ginger, Shallot, Cinnamon, Garlic with Grilled Porcini, Spring Onion, and Garlic Scapes

Prepared a braising liquid by combining 6 cups beef broth, 5 large coarsely chopped shallots, 2 oz of chopped fresh ginger, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 4 cloves of garlic chopped. Reduce by half, and add 6 beef short ribs, then into the over on 250F for 1 hour bone-side down, flip and go another hour at 200F, then finish on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil. These were plated with some of the braising liquid, some grille garlic scapes, grilled fresh porcini, and grilled spring red onion.

From gastronomic guesswork

The cinnamon + ginger + beef broth was a winning flavor pairing, in part inspired by The Flavor Bible.
