Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 pounds individual short ribs (not cross-cut flanken)
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
12 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups hearty red wine, such as Zinfandel or Shiraz
1 3/4 cups beef stock, preferably homemade, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
One 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
1 bay leaf
8 ounces baby-cut carrots
1/2 cup Mediterranean black olives, such as Niçoise, pitted
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300°F.
  • 2. Heat the oil in a large (at least 6-quart) Dutch oven or flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with the salt and pepper. In batches, without crowding, add the short ribs to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the ribs to a platter.
  • 3. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot. Add the onion, chopped carrot, and celery to the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, herbes de Provence, and flour and stir until the garlic gives off its aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Return the short ribs, and any juices, to the pot. Add cold water as needed to barely reach the top of the ribs and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • 4. Cover tightly, transfer to the oven, and bake, stirring occasionally to change the position of the ribs, until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 2 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, add the baby carrots.
  • 5. Transfer the short ribs to a deep serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Skim off the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, and discard the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes (the exact time depends on the size of the pot). Add the olives and cook to heat them through, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • 6. Spoon the sauce with the carrots over the ribs, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Sear the short ribs well: This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The wine will add depth of flavor to the sauce, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the herbs: The recipe calls for a blend of thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, but you can use any herbs that you like.
  • Let the dish simmer for at least 2 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the short ribs with a side of mashed potatoes or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This Provençal Short Ribs with Olives and Herbs is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. The olives and herbs add a touch of Provence to the dish, making it a truly unique and memorable meal.
