Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Season 3 lbs bone-in beef short ribs with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then sear the ribs in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
- Step 2: Add 1 diced large carrot, 1 diced celery stalk, and 1 diced medium yellow onion to the pot, sautéing for 6-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute more.
- Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to caramelize. Pour in 2 cups dry red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 5 minutes until reduced slightly.
- Step 4: Return the short ribs to the pot. Add 2 cups beef broth, 3 sprigs fresh thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Cover tightly and transfer to the oven. Braise for 3 hours at 275°F until the meat is fork-tender.
- Step 5: Remove the ribs and strain the sauce if desired. Serve ribs with spoonfuls of the rich braising liquid.
