Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
- 2 tsps sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsps all purpose flour
- 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 small ribs celery chopped
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsps tomato paste
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 1½ cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Pat ribs dry with paper towel, and season with salt and pepper
- Dredge ribs in flour, shaking off excess flour
- Heat olive oil in large dutch oven, and brown ribs on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Place on plate, and cover with foil to keep warm
- Cook carrots, celery and onion until soft, then add garlic, and cook until fragrant
- Stir in tomato paste, then stir in red wine, and deglaze pot using a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits sticking to pot
- Place ribs back into pot, and stir in beef broth. Ribs should be mostly submerged. You can add another ½ cup broth if needed. Add thyme on top
- Bring to a simmer on the stove
- Preheat oven to 325℉
- Cover with lid, and cook short ribs in oven for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until fork tender and falling off the bone, checking occasionally to make sure ribs aren't boiling
- Spoon sauce over ribs or remove ribs to a platter, strain out the veggies, and reduce sauce on the stove until thickened, then serve
Notes
Dry wines like pinot noir or cabernet work best -- choose one you would drink!
You can use boneless ribs, but choose bone-in if available for more flavor.
To make short ribs in slow cooker, follow steps 1-5, then transfer to crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.
