- 2 pounds short ribs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, and basil. Return the short ribs to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove the short ribs and shred the meat, then return it to the sauce.
- Serve hot over your favorite pasta or polenta.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the short ribs in red wine overnight.
- Pair with a glass of the same red wine used in the recipe.
