Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season the short ribs with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the short ribs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the short ribs to the pot and add the beef broth. The liquid should cover the ribs about 2/3 of the way.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Braise the short ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
- Serve the braised short ribs hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
