Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef short ribs
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 carrot
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. Season with 2 teaspoons of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 5

Add minced garlic cloves, chopped carrots, and celery stalks to the pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften.

Step 6

Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the canned diced tomatoes, bay leaves, fresh thyme, and balsamic vinegar.

Step 7

Return the beef short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 8

Bring the pot to a simmer, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Braised the ribs in the oven for about 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme stems before serving.

Step 11

Serve the short ribs with a generous helping of the braising liquid and vegetables.
