Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef short ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels, removing any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the short ribs to season them thoroughly.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, combine the beef broth, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the short ribs to the skillet, ensuring they are nestled into the sauce.

Step 9

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake the short ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the short ribs with the sauce spooned over the top, paired with your favorite side dish such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
