Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in short ribs
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup celery chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup carrots sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup onion chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 cups dry red wine
- 4 cups beef stock
- 4 sprigs fresh herbs I like to use thyme, rosemary, oregano and parsley.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a shallow dish, combine 3 Tablespoons of all purpose flour, salt and black pepper.
- Coat the short ribs on all sides with the flour mixture and set aside.
- In a 6 quart dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat.
- Sear the beef on all four sides until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, saute the celery, carrots and onion. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for one additional minute.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour, tomato paste and crushed red pepper. Stir and cook until all the vegetables are coated.
- Slowly add the red wine and beef stock to the pan, using a spatula to deglaze the pan as you pour.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the short ribs and herbs. Cook for 20 minutes or until the wine mixture has reduced by about half.
- Once the wine mixture has reduced, cover and place the dutch oven in the preheated oven and cook for 2- 21/2 hours or until the sauce has thickened and the meat is falling off the bone.
- Skim the fat off the gravy and serve.
