Equipment
- Dutch Oven
- Spoon
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef Short Ribs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 Large onion, diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 Carrots, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1/2 cup Red wine
- 2 cup Beef broth or bone broth
- 1 tsp Thyme
- 2 Bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium high heat on the stovetop.
- Add the short ribs and sear all sides, allowing them to fully brown. You don’t want to crowd the pan as the short ribs will steam instead of brown so you may need to brown in batches. Set aside.
- Add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Allow to sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the wine, making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the short ribs back to the dutch oven along with the bone broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a low boil, cover, and place in the oven.
- Cook for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is fall apart tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the short ribs from the pot and shred, adding the meat back to the pot.
- Remove the bay leaves and add the tomato paste.
- Mix well. Serve over your favorite pasta. Buon appetito!
