Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 220°C.
  • Season ribs with salt and pepper, dust with half the flour, and roast with vegetables for 40 minutes until brown.
  • Transfer ribs and vegetables to a heavy saucepan, discarding excess fat from the tray.
  • Whisk remaining flour and tomato purée into the roasting tray, then stir in beer and stock and boil.
  • Pour gravy over ribs, add herbs and garlic, and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
  • Discard vegetables from the pan and reduce the sauce until it reaches a thick gravy consistency.
  • Boil salsify in salted water for 8 minutes until tender.
  • Drain salsify and toss with 25g butter, parsley, and seasoning.
  • Boil turnip chunks in water for 15 minutes until tender.
  • Drain turnips, add 50g butter, and mash into a smooth purée.
  • Reheat ribs in the sauce and serve alongside the bashed neeps and salsify.
