Braised Short Rib And Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

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.
