Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 pounds beef short ribs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup balsamic or red-wine vinegar
3/4 cup red wine
6 plum tomatoes, seeded and quartered
2 cups store-bought chicken reduction, diluted with water until just thicker than chicken stock
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Season ribs with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear ribs, in batches if necessary, until browned all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove ribs, and transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
  • Add carrot, celery, onion, and garlic to pot, using more olive oil if necessary; saute until browned, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar and red wine; stir with wooden spoon until all browned bits have been scraped from the pan and the bottom of the Dutch oven is clean. Continue to cook until liquid is reduced by 1/3. Add tomatoes, chicken reduction, and herbs. Return ribs to pot, bring to a boil, cover pot, and transfer to oven. Cook, turning ribs once or twice during cooking, until fork tender and meat is just barely clinging to the bone, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
  • Remove ribs from pot; set aside. Strain, reserving cooking liquid, discarding solids. Use a large spoon to remove clear fat floating on surface of cooking liquid. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced and thickened.
  • Slice meat off ribs, against the grain, into 1/3-inch-thick pieces; ribs may be served whole, if desired. Serve drizzled with sauce.

I thought the short ribs were a little dry, but the sauce was excellent. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time, or adding more liquid to the braising liquid.

This is my go-to recipe for short ribs. They're always tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I usually serve them with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, but they're also great on their own.
