Red Wine Braised Short Ribs are tender and flavorful beef ribs slowly cooked in a rich red wine sauce, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season short ribs generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onions, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and tomato paste, stirring for 1 minute.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Return the short ribs to the pot, then add beef broth, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
- Remove ribs and strain the sauce if desired. Simmer sauce on the stovetop to thicken, then serve over ribs.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- Allow the dish to cool before storing leftovers in an airtight container.
