Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs bone-in
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth low sodium
  • 1 cup red wine optional
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.
  • Stir in beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  • Return short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 3 hours or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
  • Remove from oven and skim off any excess fat from the sauce before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, prepare a day in advance and allow the flavors to develop overnight.
