Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bone-in beef short ribs
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 whole Carrots
- 2 whole Celery stalks
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Red wine
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 whole Bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Season the short ribs generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
Dredge the short ribs in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the short ribs in batches, cooking each side until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly with a lid.
Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the pot from the oven. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the liquid and discard the herb sprigs and bay leaves.
Serve the short ribs with their sauce over mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread.
