Description

Tender, fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs slow-cooked for rich, savory flavors that make a comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine or grape juice
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. In a large pan, sear the ribs over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the ribs from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, around 3–5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the beef broth, grape juice, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Allow it to simmer gently for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  6. Place the seared ribs in a roasting pan, making sure they’re snug. Pour the flavorful sauce over them and cover tightly with foil.
  7. Roast in the oven for about 3-4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and practically falling off the bone.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for an extra touch of aroma and flavor.

Notes

These ribs pair beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread. Make the sauce a day ahead for easier preparation!
