Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 carrots, chopped (optional)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop vegetables and gather all ingredients.
  2. 2. Sear the Ribs: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper and sear until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. 3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and garlic; sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. 4. Add Wine: Pour in red wine, scraping up bits from the pot's bottom. Simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced.
  5. 5. Braise: Return short ribs to the pot; add broth, thyme, bay leaves, carrots, and celery if using. Bring to a gentle boil; then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for at least 2 hours until tender.
  6. 6. Final Touches: Check tenderness by poking a rib; it should fall apart easily. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
