Beef Short Ribs

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Beef Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs in batches, searing them until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Cook the Ribs

    Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and quartered potatoes. Cover them with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Serve

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Once the short ribs are done, remove them from the oven. Serve the short ribs over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, spooning some of the sauce from the pot over the top.
