Ingredients

• 4 lbs Beef short ribs
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 2 Carrot, diced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 2 cups Dry red wine
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Lightly coat the short ribs with flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Sear the short ribs in batches until they are browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

Step 6

In the same Dutch oven, add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 9

Allow the wine to simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 10

Add the beef broth, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Step 11

Return the seared short ribs to the pot, making sure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 12

Bring the pot to a gentle simmer, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 13

Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 14

Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.

Step 15

If desired, simmer the sauce on the stovetop to thicken further before serving.

Step 16

Serve the short ribs over mashed potatoes, polenta, or alongside crusty bread, generously topped with the rich red wine sauce.
