Ingredients

  • 3 lbs bone-in short ribs
  • 2 tsp of kosher salt
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • 2 tbsp of tomato paste
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 2 cups of red wine
  • 1 cup of beef broth
  • 3 sprigs of fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees
  • Season short ribs liberally with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides
  • To a dutch oven on medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear short ribs on all sides until a light golden brown crust is formed
  • Remove short ribs from Dutch oven and set aside
  • Turn the heat to medium and add onions, garlic, and carrots and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes
  • Deglaze the pan with red wine and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan
  • Add short ribs back to the pan and nestle them gently in the red wine mixture
  • Pour broth and ensure that it barely covers the ribs
  • Add a pinch more salt and pepper and nestle the fresh herbs on top of the broth, cover the ribs and bake in the oven for 3 hours checking after 2 1/2 hours for tenderness
  • Short ribs are done when the bone easily releases from the meat and the meat falls apart when pierced with a fork

Notes

Before serving the short ribs skim fat from the sauce then serve
