Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened. Stir in garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.
  4. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Then pour in the red wine and let it reduce by half for about 10 minutes.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, add bouquet garni, and return the browned short ribs to the pot. Cover and braise in the oven for 2¾ to 3 hours.
  6. Remove ribs and strain cooking liquid. Optionally reduce to thicken sauce.
  7. Serve the ribs coated in the rich sauce, garnished with parsley.
