Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 carrots chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Prepare the Short Ribs
- Pat the short ribs dry using paper towels. Season them with salt and black pepper. Dry meat browns better and creates deeper flavor during cooking.
Brown the Meat
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add short ribs and cook until brown on all sides. This step locks in flavor and gives rich color.
Cook the Vegetables
- Remove the ribs and set aside. Add onion, carrots, and garlic into the same pot. Cook for several minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add the Sauce Ingredients
- Pour beef broth and tomato sauce into the pot. Add tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir well to combine all the flavors together.
Return the Ribs
- Place the browned short ribs back into the pot. Spoon some sauce over the meat. The ribs should sit mostly covered in liquid for slow cooking.
Slow Cook Until Tender
- Cover the pot and place it in the oven at 325°F. Cook for about 3 hours. The meat becomes very soft and easy to pull apart.
Serve Warm
- Remove the bay leaf before serving. Spoon extra sauce over the ribs and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Brown the meat well for deeper flavor
- Add mushrooms for extra richness
- Use fresh herbs for stronger aroma
- Cook longer for softer meat
- Add red pepper flakes for spice
- Use mashed potatoes as a base
