Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef short ribs
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels and season them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs in batches and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Add the bay leaves.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Braise the short ribs in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
Serve the braised short ribs hot, with a generous spoonful of the sauce over the top, and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
