Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef ribs
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red wine
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef ribs generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the beef ribs in batches, cooking each side until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 5

Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into large chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring well, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Return the ribs to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary, ensuring the ribs are mostly submerged.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Braise the ribs in the oven for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.

Step 12

Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve the ribs hot with the braising liquid and vegetables as a rich, savory sauce.
