Braised Short Rib Taco with Pickled Pear!

Braised Short Rib with Pickled Pear

Ingredients:

1 short rib, liberally seasoned with salt and pepper
1 quart chicken stock
1 onion
1 carrot
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove
1 scallion
3 oz. taleggio cheese

Pickling Ingredients:
2 pears
1.25 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
1 cup apple cider vinegar
0.5 cup water
1 Tbsp. pickling spice

Method:

Slice scallions lengthwise, and store in water in the refrigerator & reserve.
Sear the short rib, and then braise it in the oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2-3 hours, or until fork tender. The short rib should be 1/2 covered with chicken stock with 1/2 onion, 1/2 carrot, 1 bay leaf, 1 garlic clove. Once cooked, cool and reserve.

Pickling liquid:
Heat the ingredients until the sugar and salt has dissolved. Cool & reserve.
Slice the pear about 1/16 inch thick, and cover with the pickling liquid. Keep refrigerated.

To serve, lay out 3 tortilla taco shells, and place two slices of pear on each of the shells. Portion an ounce of taleggio and about 2 oz. of short rib on each taco. Garnish with scallions, and enjoy!
