Short Rib Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Chop the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sear the Short Ribs

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half.

5. 5

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, and fresh basil. Bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Braise the Ribs

   Return the short ribs to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and reduce heat to low. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

7. 7

   Finish with Cheese and Pepperoni

   In the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the provolone cheese on top of the ribs and sprinkle with pepperoni. Cover and let melt.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the braised short ribs with the pepperonata and enjoy!
