Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef short ribs
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2
Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season them generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Dredge the short ribs in flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 4
In a large oven-safe Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Sear the short ribs on all sides until they are deeply browned, about 4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until the tomato paste darkens slightly.
Step 8
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 9
Add the beef stock, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs to the pot. Stir to combine.
Step 10
Return the browned short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 11
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Step 12
Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
Step 13
Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
Step 14
Serve the short ribs hot with the sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
