Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef short ribs bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  6. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  7. Once done, remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and skim off any excess fat from the surface. Serve the short ribs with the sauce spooned over the top.
