  • 6 pounds short ribs
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 6 shallots, peeled and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups red wine
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 10 sprigs parsley
  • 8 sprigs thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 head garlic, halved crosswise
  • 4 cups beef stock

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on each side. Remove the short ribs and set aside.
  3. Cook the carrots, celery, onions, and shallots in the pot until onions and shallots turn golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and flour, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
  4. Return the short ribs to the pot, and add wine. Cook until the wine is reduced by about half.
  5. Bundle the rosemary, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves together and tie with kitchen string. Add the herbs, garlic, and stock to pot. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot. Transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
  6. Transfer the short ribs to large platter. Strain the sauce through a colander into a medium saucepan. Reduce the sauce over medium heat until it thickens. Spoon sauce over short ribs, and serve.
