Season the short ribs generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Set the seared short ribs aside.
In the same Dutch oven, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the vegetables and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to combine and allow the tomato paste to deepen in color.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the beef broth, fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return the short ribs to the pot, arranging them so they're mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
About 30 minutes before the short ribs are finished, prepare the fingerling potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and a pinch of salt and toss until the potatoes are coated in the melted butter. Keep warm.
Once the short ribs are done, carefully remove them from the pot and set aside. Skim excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, then simmer the liquid on the stovetop over medium heat for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the short ribs over the buttery fingerling potatoes, spooning the braising liquid over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
