Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in short ribs (about 3 lbs)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper; sear on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Pour in red wine and deglaze the pot by scraping up any brown bits; let simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, sugar, thyme, and rosemary. Return short ribs to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven. Braise for about 2.5 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
