Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the beef ribs generously with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs until browned on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion to the same pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot with the onion and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly caramelize.
Pour the beef broth and red wine vinegar into the pot, stirring well to deglaze the pot and lift any browned bits from the bottom.
Add Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme sprigs, and chopped rosemary. Stir to combine.
Return the ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Add sliced mushrooms.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Braised in the oven for approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Remove the pot from the oven. Carefully remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
