Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring for 1 more minute.
  4. Pour in the red wine, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil and reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add beef broth and bouquet garni. Return browned short ribs to the pot and simmer. Cover and cook in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  6. Remove ribs, strain cooking liquid, and reduce if desired. Thicken sauce with beurre manié if necessary.
  7. Serve the ribs over mashed potatoes or polenta, garnished with parsley.
