Short Ribs

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Braised Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Season the short ribs with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Ribs

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear them on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Braise the Short Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for about 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

  7. 7

    Rest the Ribs

    Once done, remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 8

    Cook the Potatoes

    While the short ribs are braising, place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 9

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the mashed potatoes alongside the braised short ribs, drizzling the gravy over both.
