Ingredients
- 4 lbs beef short ribs
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 bay leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels and season them with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs in batches and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Return the browned short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Add the bay leaves.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Braise the short ribs in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
Step 9
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
Step 10
Serve the braised short ribs hot, with a generous spoonful of the sauce over the top, and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
