Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Season the Short Ribs

    Generously season the short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Short Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add a bit of oil. Sear the short ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove 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 softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  3. 5

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Liquids and Seasonings

    Add the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Simmer the Short Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve the short ribs with the sauce and vegetables over mashed potatoes or polenta.
