Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Sear the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the cabernet sauvignon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

  5. 5

    Add Stock and Seasoning

    Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef stock and black cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Braise the Ribs

    Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

  7. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the short ribs from the oven, and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream, chopped chives, mashed potatoes, and haricot verts.
