Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in beef short ribs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 1 stalk Celery, finely diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Dry red wine
• 2 cups Beef stock
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Season the short ribs on all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes and dry red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 7

Pour in the beef stock and add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are fork-tender.

Step 10

While the short ribs cook, prepare the mashed potatoes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chopped potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

Step 11

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

Step 12

Once the short ribs are done, remove them from the pot and skim any excess fat from the sauce. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 13

Serve the short ribs with the Provençale sauce spooned over the top, alongside a generous helping of mashed potatoes.

Step 14

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
