Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef short ribs
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 6 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Season 3 lbs beef short ribs evenly with 2 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown short ribs on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, until deeply caramelized. Remove and set aside.
- Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 large diced yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add 10 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 6 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms, cooking for another 5 minutes until browned.
- Step 3: Stir in 1 tsp smoked paprika and sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat and cook for 1 minute. Pour in 2 cups beef broth and 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Stir in 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.
- Step 4: Return the short ribs to the pot, submerging in the liquid. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
- Step 5: Remove short ribs to a plate and skim any excess fat from the sauce. Stir 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tbsp butter into the sauce until smooth and creamy. Return short ribs to the sauce to warm for 5 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
