Description

Tender short ribs slow-cooked in a luxurious red wine sauce, perfect for a cozy family gathering or special occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper, then carefully brown them on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
  5. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste; continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release the browned bits.
  8. Return the browned short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  9. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality beef and wine. It can be made a day ahead to deepen flavors.
