For the Braised Short Rib:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a Large Pot with the canola oil on High Heat.
- Generously rub the short rib with salt and pepper. Sear the short ribs on all sides to a dark golden brown. (this gives the final product a much better flavor)
- Remove the short ribs from the pot and reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves. Cook until the onions become tender with a little color. Add the lager and stock.
- Place the short ribs back into the pot and cover with a lid. Place in the oven for 3 ½ hours or until the short rib pulls away from the bone with a fork.
For the Dumplings:
- Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and rosemary in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and water and mix until a cohesive ball forms. Do not overmix or you will have bouncy chewy dumplings.
- Place dough in fridge until later.
For the Vegetables:
- Cut the ends off the mushrooms. Toss the mushrooms and parsnips in a little canola oil, salt and pepper. Place on a lines baking sheet and put in the oven for 13-15 minutes.
- Remove and wait to plate.
To Finish:
- Place the Pot of short rib back on a burner at high heat.
- Remove the short ribs onto a plate. Once the braise is boiling add 2 ounce balls of the dumpling dough into the braise.
- Cook for roughly 5 minutes or until the dumplings have some buoyancy.
- Turn the heat off and place the vegetables and short ribs back into the liquid.
- Plate in a bowl everything and eat away!!
