Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat dry 3 lbs beef short ribs and season all sides with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side until deeply browned; transfer to a plate.
- Step 3: In the same pot, add 1 large chopped yellow onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks; sauté for 6-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Step 4: Stir in 6 smashed garlic cloves and 2 tbsp tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes until the paste darkens slightly.
- Step 5: Pour in 2 cups dry red wine and scrape up browned bits from the bottom; simmer for 5 minutes until wine reduces by about one-third.
- Step 6: Add 2 cups beef broth and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, then return the short ribs to the pot, submerging partially in liquid.
- Step 7: Cover the pot tightly and braise in the oven for 3 hours until meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone.
