Short Rib Bolognese Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Brown the Short Ribs

   In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and black pepper. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Tomato Paste and Deglaze

   Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, oregano, and seared short ribs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender.

5. 5

   Cook the Pasta

   About 30 minutes before serving, cook the pasta according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

6. 6

   Shred the Meat
