A rich and hearty short rib ragu, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  6. Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, and basil. Return the short ribs to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the oven.
  8. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  9. Remove the short ribs and shred the meat, then return it to the sauce.
  10. 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.
