Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, sear the ribs until browned on all sides (about 3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add sliced onions and minced garlic; sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Pour in the red wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits, and reduce by half (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and return ribs to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover tightly and braise in the oven for about 3 hours until tender.
- Serve with sauce drizzled over the top alongside mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
