*slow Braised Beef Short Rib Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef

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

2. 2

   Sear the Ribs

   In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear them on all sides until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Liquids and Herbs

   Pour in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add bay leaves and fresh thyme.

5. 5

   Combine and Braise

   Return the seared short ribs to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.

6. 6

   Slow Cook

   Braise the short ribs in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, discard bay leaves, and serve the short ribs with the vegetable sauce over mashed potatoes or polenta.
