Red Wine Braised Short Ribs

Got this recipe off of We Love DC, from a feature where they worked with the folks over at WestEnd bistro.

As a note, I recommend with the sauce, chilling and skimming off the fat if you have the luxury of time. Mine was a bit greasy.

3-4 lbs of Bone-in short ribs

1 Bottle red wine (cheap is great)

2 Carrots, roughly chopped (the veggies are removed later)

1 Celery stalk, roughly chopped

1 Onion, roughly chopped

a head’s full of peeled garlic cloves

Salt and pepper

2 tsp Fresh thyme, leaves removed from the stems, finely chopped

1 Fresh bay leaf

A dozen black peppercorns

1-2 quarts beef stock

2 tbsp Tomato paste

Marinate the short ribs in the wine, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns. Note: I did this about an hour – the recipe recommends overnight but I didn’t notice until it was too late.

Preheat oven to 325.

Bring meat to room temperature. Pat the meat dry and sear both sides of the meat in a hot pan.

Cook meat in oven for 3-4 hours.

Remove the short ribs from pan. Strain the veggies from the liquid and use the liquid as a jus.
