Print Recipe

Braising is a cooking technique that involves searing the meat and then simmering it in a flavorful liquid until it becomes fork-tender and full of savory goodness. In this recipe, the short ribs are braised to perfection, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth meat that is richly infused with a luscious sauce. The dish is perfect for cozy dinners or special occasions when you want to impress your guests with minimal effort and time.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 bone-in beef short ribs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary), for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned and caramelized, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
  5. Return the short ribs to the pot, nestling them among the vegetables.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, red wine (if using), soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Pour the mixture over the short ribs and vegetables.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until the short ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Notes

Feel free to customize the flavors by adding additional herbs or spices that complement the dish. For a deeper flavor, you can also marinate the short ribs in the sauce for a few hours before cooking. Serve the tender short ribs with the aromatic sauce over mashed potatoes, creamy polenta, or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy!
