For Serving:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). A lower temperature is ideal for slow-cooking the ribs to achieve the best, tender texture.

2. Prepare and Season the Short Ribs

  1. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. This initial seasoning helps enhance the meat’s flavor, especially when it sears.

3. Sear the Short Ribs

  1. In a large, oven-safe Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Working in batches, add the short ribs to the pot, searing each side until a rich, golden-brown crust forms (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  3. Once browned, transfer the short ribs to a plate and set aside. This step helps to lock in the juices and adds depth to the overall flavor.

4. Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and begin to caramelize.
  2. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute, until fragrant.

5. Add Tomato Paste and Deglaze with Wine

  1. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly, which enhances its rich flavor.
  2. Pour in the red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom of the pot (known as fond). These bits are full of flavor and will enrich the braising liquid.
  3. Allow the wine to simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly, which will concentrate its flavor.

6. Add the Broth and Herbs

  1. Pour in the beef broth to the pot, then add the bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Return the seared short ribs to the pot, nestling them into the broth and vegetables. The meat should be mostly submerged in the liquid to ensure even cooking.

7. Braise the Short Ribs

  1. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  2. Braise the short ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
