Braised Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 5 pounds short ribs (about 6 English style ribs)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 shallots, minced
- 12 baby carrots (or 3 medium carrots, diced)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 cups Cabernet Sauvignon (or red wine of your choice)
- 4 cups beef stock
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 sprigs fresh oregano
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 bay leaves (fresh or dried)
Steps
- Season the short ribs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper covering all sides of the meat.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat and sear the 5 pounds ribs in batches, 2 to 3 ribs at a time, searing each side for about 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and finish searing the rest of the meat.
10 min
- Remove some of the excess 3 tablespoons oil/fat from the Dutch oven, making sure to leave some. Add the 2 ribs celery, onions, 2 shallots, and 12 carrots and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5 min
- Add in 3 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 2 tablespoons garlic, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes and stir frequently for about 1 minute.
1 min
- Add in 3 cups wine and use your spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the pot. Add the 5 pounds ribs back in and spoon the wine over them, then allow them to simmer and the wine to reduce for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F.
20 min
- Add in 4 cups beef stock and 6 sprigs fresh thyme, 4 sprigs fresh oregano, 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, and 2 bay leaves then cover and bake in the oven for about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The meat should be falling off the bone when done.
2 hours 45 min
- Once done cooking, remove the 5 pounds ribs. Skim the excess fat off of the top of the sauce, remove the 2 bay leaves and discard fat and bay leaves.
