Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 pounds short ribs (not cross-cut flanken)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium red onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 celery rib, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cups full-bodied red wine, such as Côtes du Rhône or Bordeaux
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in juice
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2/3 cup (3 1/2 ounces) pitted kalamata olives, rinsed and patted dry
1 navel orange
Accompaniments:
Polenta, noodles, or potatoes
Special Equipment
A wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid (for an alternative, see Cooks' Notes)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
  • Stir together flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Pat ribs dry and lightly dredge in flour mixture, knocking off excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown ribs in 3 batches, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer as browned to a platter. Discard fat from pot.
  • Cook onions, carrots, and celery in remaining 2 tablespoons oil with 1/2 teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just softened and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add garlic and herbs and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened and fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 8 minutes, then stir in broth, tomatoes with juice, and vinegar and bring to a simmer.
  • Return ribs to pot. Cover with the lid, then place in oven, and braise until ribs are fork-tender, 3 to 3 1/4 hours.
  • Transfer ribs with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Let cooking liquid stand briefly, then skim fat from top. Stir in olives. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
  • Return meat to pot. Grate zest from orange over top just before serving.
