Ingredients




Ingredients:

6 pounds beef short ribs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 garlic cloves, pressed
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 (14.5-ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
2 cups dry red wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 fresh oregano sprig

Preparation

1 Directions: 2 Sprinkle ribs evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook ribs, in batches, in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove ribs to a large bowl, and drain Dutch oven. 3 Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and next 3 ingredients to Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender and browned. Stir in tomatoes and next 5 ingredients. Return ribs to Dutch oven, and bring to a boil; cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lid. 4 Bake at 350 degrees for 3 & 1/2 to 4 hours or until ribs are very tender. Remove ribs and herbs. Discard herbs; keep ribs warm. 5 Drain vegetable mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Pour gravy into an 8-cup glass measure cup. Let stand 30 minutes, and skim fat from gravy. Add strained gravy and vegetable back to Dutch oven. Return to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook, uncovered, 20 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy over short ribs.
