Beef Short Rib with Risotto
Beef short rib slow-braised in dandelion and burdock with parmesan risotto and fried sweet potato strings.
Michael is Wolverhampton-born, learned to cook watching videos online, and as a stay-at-home dad cooks daily for his wife and three children under five.
Michael: "I'm doing a parmigiano risotto with short rib braised in a pressure cooker with dandelion and burdock, which is one of my childhood favourites."
Grace: "Dandelion and burdock to me is caravan holidays."
Anna: "What's very difficult about a pressure cooker is that you don't really know what's going on in your pot until you open it. So there's a gamble on whether the meat will be tender enough to serve."
Grace: "You've timed the short rib really well. It's gelatinous and soft when you eat it, but dandelion and burdock, a sweet, herbal, nostalgic taste. If that's what the dish is promising, it needs to deliver it."
Anna: "The risotto is just cooked and it's still wet, which is excellent. The sweet potato, I was like, what's the point of that? And then I ate it, and I went, it's quite delicious with the beef. You've given us a plate of skill. Just needs a little refinement."
