Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Add the beef broth, fresh thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the beef short ribs to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Braise the short ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let the short ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the braised beef short ribs with the sauce and your choice of side dishes.
