Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Pat the beef short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Sear in a Dutch oven with olive oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion, carrot, and celery for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with dry red wine, scraping up brown bits. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce.
  5. Return the seared ribs to the pot, add enough beef broth to cover, and include rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.
  6. Cover and braise in the preheated oven for 2½ to 3 hours until tender.
  7. Remove ribs, strain the liquid, skim off excess fat, and simmer the sauce until thickened. Serve sauce over the ribs.
