Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Sear ribs on all sides until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in red wine, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add beef broth, rosemary, and bay leaves. Return short ribs to pot, ensuring they are submerged.
  8. Cover and transfer to oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until ribs are tender and sauce thickened.
  9. Remove from oven. Discard rosemary and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning.
  10. Optional: stir in balsamic vinegar and smoked paprika.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

Use a good quality dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon. Don’t rush the searing process. Let the ribs rest before serving for enhanced flavor.
