Braised Short Ribs

Method

Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Sear the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large 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 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Braise

    Add red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Let it reduce for about 3 minutes. Return the short ribs to the pot along with beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

  5. 5

    Rest and Shred

    Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for a few minutes. Shred the meat and discard the bones.
