Braised Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Searing the Ribs

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Sautéing Vegetables

   In the same pot, add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Deglazing the Pot

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

4. 4

   Braising

   Return the short ribs to the pot, adding the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

   Finishing Touches

   Remove the pot from the oven and take out the short ribs. Discard the bay leaves. Skim off excess fat from the surface of the braising liquid. You can reduce the liquid on the stove to thicken it if desired.
