To Serve

Method

Beef Short Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs in batches and sear until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

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

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Add beef broth, fresh thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

  6. 6

    Slow Cook the Ribs

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the ribs to cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

Au Jus Preparation

  1. 7

    Strain the Broth

    Once the ribs are done cooking, carefully remove them from the pot and set aside. Strain the remaining liquid into a saucepan.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Au Jus

    Add reserved beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare the Baguette and Cheese

    Slice the French baguette and layer with provolone cheese on a baking sheet. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 10

    Serve the Dish

    To serve, place the tender short ribs on a platter alongside the au jus for dipping. Serve with the cheesy baguette slices.
