Braised Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds (1.8 kg) beef short ribs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Season and Sear the Ribs:

• Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

1. Sauté the Vegetables:

• In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

1. Deglaze the Pot:

• Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.

1. Add Remaining Ingredients:

• Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

1. Braise:

• Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

1. Serve:

• Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf. Serve the short ribs with the braising liquid spooned over the top, garnished with fresh parsley.
