Tender short ribs slowly cooked in red wine and savory broth, creating a rich and comforting dish perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, then remove them from the pot.
  3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened—about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to release browned bits.
  6. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Return the short ribs to the pot.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender.
  8. Remove the ribs and strain the sauce. Simmer the sauce until it thickens.
  9. Serve the short ribs on a platter with the sauce, garnished with parsley.

Notes

These ribs pair excellently with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. A glass of the same red wine enhances the meal.
