Carefully measure and prepare all ingredients.

Place a large pot over high heat, then add the oil. When the oil starts to shimmer, add half of the meat, and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pot. Season well with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides. Remove to a hotel pan and repeat for the second half of the meat.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook for aroma, then add the onions. Stir to distribute evenly, then cover the pan and sweat until the onions are softened, about five minutes. Stir occasionally. Allow the moisture from the onions to dissolve the brown juices from the meat. Add the mushrooms, and stir. Cook until the mushrooms are completely soft. Add the white wine, and reduce by half. Return the browned meat to the pot, and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and transfer to a 350-degree oven. Cook just until the meat becomes tender, then remove from the heat.

Stir in the sour cream and correct the seasoning. Transfer to a storage container and cool completely. Cover, label, date, and initial. Store refrigerated.

Cut the entire core out of the cabbage, then place into a large pot of boiling, salted water with the core end up. As the cabbage softens, use tongs to remove the outer leaves. Transfer to an ice bath.

Remove from the ice bath and pat try. Cut the thick stem ends off as shown.  Discard center leaves that are too small to cover the meat completely.

Tightly wrap each cabbage leaf around a 2 oz. ball of the meat.

Arrange the stuffed cabbage leaves next to each other in a 2″ hotel pan. Pour the broth over the top, and add the garlic cloves. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350 F. for 45 minutes.

Cool completely. Transfer to a storage container and cover. Label, date, and initial. Store refrigerated.

Carefully measure and prepare all ingredients. Season the short rib chunks on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a suitable braising pot over high heat, and brown the meat well on all sides.

Remove the meat, and discard most of the oil. Add the garlic, and cook until lightly browned. Add the other vegetables, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are soft. Add the tomato paste, and cook for five more minutes, stirring.

Add the red wine, and bring to a boil.

Cook until the alcohol smell is gone, then add the browned beef, chicken broth, herbs, peppercorns, bay leaves, and dried mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and place in a 350 F. oven. Cook until the meat is tender, but not falling apart, about two hours. Remove from the oven.

Remove the cooked shanks from the cooking liquid, and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Strain the cooking liquid into a suitable pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until lightly thickened. Add the mushrooms, carrots, and onions, and return to a simmer. Cook until the carrots are cooked but still firm. Correct seasoning, and add the parsley. Cool completely.

Transfer to a storage container and cover. Label, date, and initial. Store refrigerated.

Remove a large piece of beef short rib from the packaging, and pat dry. Trim all excess fat from the surfaces, then place onto a hotel pan in the freezer. Allow to become very firm but not frozen solid, about one hour.

Clean the slicer well, then set at just over 2 on the dial. Slice the meat across the grain and arrange onto a piece of plastic wrap as shown. This photo is from a very large piece of meat. For smaller ones, give more slices. Should be about 2 oz of meat. Trim any large pieces of fat.

Fold the plastic wrap over the meat to seal out air. Store refrigerated.
