Beef Short Ribs Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribs

   Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Ribs

   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the ribs and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrots (sliced), and celery (diced). Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4. 4

   Add Liquid and Herbs

   Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add thyme and bay leaves, stirring to combine.

5. 5

   Return Ribs to the Pot

   Return the seared short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Braise the Ribs

   Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the ribs to braise for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are fork-tender.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with the braising liquid and vegetables spooned over the top.
