Description
A delicious recipe for braised short ribs served with a creamy herb sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary to the pot. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, discarding the solids. Simmer the liquid over medium heat until reduced by half.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, parsley, and chives. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the short ribs topped with the creamy herb sauce.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the braising liquid.
- Serve the short ribs over mashed potatoes or polenta for a comforting meal.
