Short Ribs

Method

Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove ribs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the beef broth and balsamic vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

  5. 5

    Braise the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Add thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once tender, remove the ribs and serve with the balsamic carrots from the braising liquid.
