PAUL TURNER'S BRAISED SHORT RIB WITH TRUFFLE BORDELAISE AND PARMESAN CRISP

Concrete Playground
October 02, 2019

Looking for a dish that'll really impress your dinner guests? This ultra-rich, melt-in-your-mouth beef short rib is it.

This month, a handful of Melburnians were given the unique opportunity to have top chef Paul Turner cook for them in an intimate setting. As part of Red Rock Deli’s Secret Supper series, Turner — who you’ll normally see behind the pass at Windsor restaurant Lover — hosted two spectacular three-course dinners.

Turner cooked up a bold and flavourful feast inspired by native Australian ingredients and Red Rock Deli’s new limited-edition Deluxe Crisps flavour: parmesan and truffle oil. The meal started with burrata and maple glazed pumpkin served with buttermilk and saltbush, before finishing with roasted white chocolate parfait with grilled pear, chestnut, malt and wood sorrel.

In between, guests were treated to a melt-in-your-mouth braised short rib served with truffle bordelaise, nettle, goats curd and parmesan crisp. And, luckily for those that missed out or nabbed a seat and loved it so much that they want to eat it again, Turner has shared the recipe with us. Read on and bookmark this one for when you next want to cook a dinner that’ll really impress your guests.
