The sauce alone of these French Style Braised Short Ribs is more than enough to let you know that you are in for a treat! This is a must-try recipe, I’m telling you!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
2 c dry red wine (or more broth)
2 heads of garlic, with the tops, removed
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
8 oz mushrooms, quartered
1 tsp rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried rosemary)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 tsp thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
2 lbs. beef short ribs, cut into 3–4-inch pieces
3 c beef broth
3 stalks of celery, sliced
A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Place a large oven-proof pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.
Add the beef into the preheated pan, then cook each side for about 3 minutes or until brown. Remove from the pan and transfer it onto a clean plate.
Leave about 2 tbsp of the accumulated fat from the pan and remove the rest.
Add carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms. Sauté the veggies for about 7 to 10 minutes or until soft.
Add the red pepper flakes and garlic into the pan, then sauté for a few minutes until aromatic.
Put the beef back into the pan together with the wine, broth, tomato paste, heads of garlic, bay leaves, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Stir everything until well incorporated. Allow the mixture to boil.
Turn the heat down to low, then simmer everything for 2 to 3 hours or until the beef is soft.
Discard the bay leaves, then sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot over pasta or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
