Braised Short Rib Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribs

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Ribs

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

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Liquids and Seasoning

   Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir well.

5. 5

   Braise the Ribs

   Return the short ribs to the pot. The liquid should cover the ribs halfway. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for about 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.

6. 6

   Finish the Dish

   Remove from the oven and transfer the ribs to a plate. Strain the liquid and return it to the pot. Add demi-glace and simmer until slightly thickened. Serve the ribs topped with the sauce.
