Ingredients

  • 4 pounds bone-in short ribs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Additional Fresh Rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • Season the bone-in short ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, working in batches. Transfer the seared ribs to a plate.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of fat in the pot and discard the rest.
  • Return the pot to medium heat and add the chopped celery, carrots, and onion. Sauté until they begin to soften and the onion is translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring constantly until fragrant and slightly caramelized.
  • Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot. Simmer for a few minutes to cook off the alcohol.
  • Stir in the beef broth, fresh rosemary sprigs, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
  • Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add more broth or water if needed.
  • Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the short ribs for about 3 hours, until tender and falling off the bone.
  • Remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Skim any excess fat from the braising liquid or use a fat separator.
  • Optionally, strain the liquid and return it to the pot. Simmer until reduced and slightly thickened into a flavorful sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the braised short ribs with the sauce spooned over them. Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or creamy polenta. Enjoy!
