Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef short ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 large potatoes, diced
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
• 8 cups beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add the ribs to the pot and brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Return the beef ribs to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and beef broth.

Step 7

Stir in the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the ribs are very tender and the meat is falling off the bone.

Step 9

Remove the ribs from the soup, shred the beef, and discard the bones. Return the shredded meat to the pot.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaf and discard.

Step 12

Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
