Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat dry 3 pounds beef back ribs, seasoning all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, until deeply browned, then remove and set aside.
- Step 3: Add 1 large diced yellow onion and 2 chopped medium carrots to the pot, sauté for 6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Step 4: Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato paste and cook 2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
- Step 5: Pour in 2 cups red wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom, and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Step 6: Add 2 cups beef broth, 6 smashed garlic cloves, and 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, returning the ribs to the pot submerged halfway.
- Step 7: Cover tightly and place in the oven, braising low and slow for 3 hours until ribs are fork-tender and the sauce is rich.
- Step 8: Remove ribs, strain sauce if desired, and serve ribs generously coated with the reduced braising liquid.
