Ingredients
- 2.5 lb Beef Short Ribs (Bone‑in, cut into 2‑3 inch pieces)
- 2 tsp Salt (Kosher or sea salt)
- 1 tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil (Extra virgin)
- 1 piece Onion (Medium, diced)
- 1 piece Carrot (Large, diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste (Good quality)
- 1 cup Red Wine (Dry red wine, e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 2 leaves Bay Leaves (Dried)
- 4 cup Water (Hot water, enough to cover the ribs)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the Ribs
Pat the short rib pieces dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Time: PT5M
Heat the Pot and Sear
Place the pot over high heat, add olive oil, and wait until it shimmers. Add the ribs in a single layer and sear without moving until a deep brown crust forms, about 4‑5 minutes per side.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: high
Remove Ribs
Transfer the browned ribs to a plate and set aside, keeping the fond in the pot.
Time: PT2M
Sauté Aromatics
Add the diced onion and carrot to the same pot, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Time: PT6M
Temperature: medium
Incorporate Tomato Paste
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to eliminate raw acidity.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: medium
Deglaze with Red Wine
Pour the cup of red wine into the pot, stirring and scraping the bottom to lift all browned bits. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: medium
Return Ribs and Add Liquid
Place the seared ribs back into the pot, add the bay leaves, and pour hot water until the ribs are just covered.
Time: PT2M
Braise Low and Slow
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the ribs simmer gently for 2 hours 30 minutes, checking occasionally that the liquid remains at least covering the meat.
Time: PT2H30M
Temperature: low
Check for Doneness
Insert a fork into a rib; if it slides in easily and the meat pulls away from the bone, the ribs are tender.
Time: PT2M
Garnish and Serve
Remove the bay leaves, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the ribs, and serve hot with the broth.
Time: PT3M
