Provided by Valerie Brunmeier

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rib Recipes

Time 3h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds lean beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large onion, cut into thick slices and separated into rings
5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup barbeque sauce
1 cup beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, and brown the ribs on all sides, about 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Sprinkle ribs with salt and black pepper as they brown. Transfer cooked ribs to paper towels to blot up extra oil.
  • Stir the onion rings and carrots into the same pot, and cook and stir until the onions turn translucent and start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Mix in tomato sauce, barbeque sauce, and beef broth; bring the sauce to a boil, and simmer for 1 minute to blend flavors. Stir in the browned ribs.
