Best 8 Oven Braised Beef Short Ribs Recipes

SIMPLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt (all sides).
• Heat a 3.5 or 5 quart Dutch oven or braiser pot over high heat. Add the olive oil. (I use this Dutch oven.)
• Once hot, add the short ribs (fat side down) and brown on two sides for 4-5 minutes (on each side). Depending on your Dutch oven size, you may need to work in two batches. Once the short ribs have browned, set aside on a plate.
• Drain the excess fat from the Dutch oven, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon of fat.
• Over medium-high heat, add the onions and carrots and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook the veggies for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stirring to coat.
• Add the red wine and broth/stock. Stir to dissolve the flour in the liquid and allow the liquid to reach a lively simmer.
• Add the short ribs to the veggies and liquid (they shouldn't be submerged, just nestled in). And tuck the rosemary sprigs in the liquid, around the short ribs and veggie. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few turns of fresh pepper.
• Once the ingredients reach a slight boil/lively simmer, place the lid on the Dutch oven. Place the pot in the oven and braise the short ribs and veggies, covered, for 2 1/2 hours.
• After 2 1/2 hours, remove the short ribs from the oven. The meat should easily fall off the bone and be fork tender.
• Serve the braised short ribs (and onions and carrots and juice) over mashed potatoes or polenta, or with a side of roasted sweet potatoes.

• In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, combine tomatoes, broth, wine, flour, chili sauce, thyme, marjoram, salt and garlic-pepper blend; mix well. Add browned ribs, carrots and onion; stir gently to mix. (Baking dish will be full.) Cover with foil.
• Bake covered at 325°F. for 2 hours.
• Uncover baking dish, bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until ribs are tender and liquid is slightly thickened.

CLASSIC BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Season all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy, oven-safe pot over high heat. Add in olive oil and allow to heat briefly. Sear short ribs in olive oil, about 1 minute per side, to render fat. Remove from pot and set aside.
• Add in onion and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add in garlic and saute 1 minute more.
• Pour in beef broth, red wine (if using) and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Return short ribs to pan. Place a rosemary sprig on top.
• Cover with lid and transfer to preheated oven for about 2.5 hours, until meat is tender.

GARLIC BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season short ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned short ribs to a large plate and continue with remaining ribs.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of remaining fat, leaving the good browned bits behind. Reduce heat to medium, and add garlic, cut side down and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and continue to cook until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomato paste has started to caramelize a bit on the bottom and up the edges of the pot, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add red wine and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned or caramelized bits. Let this simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to take the edge off and reduce a bit. Stir in beef stock along with thyme. Using tongs, return short ribs to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated, nestling them in there so that they are submerged (if they are just barely covered, nestle them bone side up so that all the meat is submerged, adding more beef stock or water as necessary to cover). Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven.
• Cook, undisturbed, until short ribs are meltingly tender and falling off the bone (you should be able to shred the meat with a fork), 3½ to 4 hours.
• Using tongs, remove the ribs from the pot, taking care (for presentation purposes, really) not to let the bone slip out and transfer them to a large plate. (While you could serve the short ribs right out of this pot, the vegetables have all given up their flavor and texture and aren't worth much now, so feel free to strain the sauce for easier eating.) Scatter parsley, chives and lemon zest over the top of the short ribs. Separate the fat from the sauce, season with salt and pepper and serve alongside.

BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the short ribs on a sheet pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven and add the fennel, leek, onion, celery and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine, bring to a boil and cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Tie the rosemary and thyme together with kitchen twine and add to the pot.
• Place the roasted ribs on top of the vegetables in the Dutch oven and add the brown sugar and beef stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
• Carefully remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Discard the herbs and skim the excess fat. Cook the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for 20 minutes, until reduced. Put the ribs back into the pot and heat through. Serve with the vegetables and sauce.

BRAISED SHORT RIBS IN THE OVEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot on medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the ribs, in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the ribs to a plate as they become brown. Add the onion and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Return the ribs to the pot along with any accumulated juices from the plate. Add the beef broth, wine, Worcestershire, and thyme sprigs. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
• Cover, transfer to the oven, and continue to cook, undisturbed until the meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Check the meat after 2 hours. If there is too much liquid, return to the oven and continue to cook uncovered, until the meat is fork-tender. If most of the liquid has evaporated, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of boiling beef broth or a combination of broth and red wine, return to the oven and continue to cook, uncovered until the meat is fork-tender.
• Transfer the ribs to a large serving bowl. Pour the broth into a gravy separator. Discard the excess fat. Adjust the seasoning of the remaining liquid with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the liquid over the short ribs, garnish with fresh thyme leaves, and serve.
