Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces (8 to 12)
Salt and pepper
1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
10 sprigs thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup dry red wine, such as Merlot
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a large heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high. Season short ribs with salt and pepper. In batches, brown ribs on all sides. Transfer to a plate, pour off oil, and wipe loose bits out of pot.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to pot. Add onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat. Whisk in pomegranate juice and wine and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Return ribs to pot, cover, and transfer to oven.
  • Bake until ribs are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 3 hours. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer ribs to a large platter. Strain liquid into a fat separator, let sit briefly, and return to pot, discarding fat (or, skim off fat with a spoon). Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, season with salt and pepper, and pour over ribs. Top with pomegranate seeds.

Easy and delicious! The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.

Not a fan of this recipe. The short ribs were dry and the sauce was too sweet. I would not recommend it.

Followed the recipe exactly and the short ribs were tough and the sauce was bland. Not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the short ribs were fall-apart tender. I'll try again with a different sauce recipe.
