Braised Short Ribs Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Short Ribs

   Season the short ribs with salt and pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Ribs

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the ribs and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Herbs

   Return the short ribs to the pot, then add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Braise the Ribs

   Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let the ribs braise for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until tender.

7. 7

   Prepare Mashed Potatoes

   While the ribs are cooking, prepare mashed potatoes according to your preferred recipe.

8. 8

   Cook Mixed Vegetables

   In a separate pot, cook the mixed vegetables until tender, then drain.

9. 9

   Serve

   Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the pot. Serve the ribs over a bed of mashed potatoes, topped with the braising liquid and the mixed vegetables.
