Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the beef short ribs generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the ribs are resting, chop the onion, carrots, and celery into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned short ribs in batches and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 5

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and fresh thyme to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Return the Ribs

    Return the browned short ribs to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid.

  6. 8

    Cook the Ribs

    Bring the pot to a gentle simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 3 hours or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Short Ribs

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve the short ribs with the braising liquid and vegetables, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
