Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a roasting pan over high heat with the oil. Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper. Add the ribs to the pan, then reduce the heat to medium. Sear on both the top and bottom of the meat, 2 to 3 minutes per side, reserving the pan drippings. After searing the ribs, add the stock, mirepoix, tomato paste, merlot, garlic and the reserved pan drippings to the pan. Tightly cover and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and check the ribs, which should be fork tender. If need be, continue cooking to achieve desired tenderness. Next remove the ribs and reserve the liquid to create sauce.
- Pour the reserved cooking liquid through a strainer, then discard the remaining vegetables. In a saucepan, blend the herbs and liquid over medium-high heat. Reduce the liquid by three-quarters, yielding 3 cups of sauce. Pass the reduced sauce through a strainer, then set aside and keep warm.
- For the potatoes: In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until softened, 15 to 18 minutes, then drain. Pass the potatoes and butter through a food mill or ricer into a bowl. Next add the salt and pepper, and then blend with a whisk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- To serve, place the mashed potatoes in the center of the plate, top with a short rib, and finish with the warm sauce. Repeat for the remaining short ribs.

FRENCH INFLUENCED BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS
I found this recipe in Cooking Enthusiast catalog, under the title of French Influenced. Very tender meat and nice thick sauce. Wonderful flavor. The recipe did call for 2 large sprigs of fresh Rosemary and I opted to use bay leaves instead as I don't care for Rosemary.

Steps:
- In resealable, 2-gallon plastic bag, place short ribs. Add wine, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, 1 tablespoon pepper, fennel seed, mustard seed, and garlic. Place bag in large bowl and marinate in refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

- In heavy, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1/4 cup oil just until smoking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tie the rosemary, bay leaves, and small bunch of parsley together with kitchen twine, making a bouquet garni. Puree garlic and onion in food processor. Next, brown the short ribs. You will probably have to do them in several batches. Heat olive oil in a very large ovenproof casserole over high heat until really hot, then add short ribs. Brown on all sides, cooking 1-2 min - utes per side. Transfer to a platter. When you've finished browning all the short ribs, pour off excess fat, then add the fennel and bacon to the pan. Turn heat down to medium-high. Cook until the bacon crisps up, stirring often. Transfer to platter. Add the onion and garlic puree to the pan and cook about 5 minutes. Add the red wine and, using a wooden spoon, deglaze the pan by scraping up any brown bits that have stuck to the bottom and sides. Add the port, the chicken broth, tomatoes, bouquet garni, allspice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add the ribs, fennel, and bacon. Cover the pot and put in the oven. Cook 2 1/2-3 hours until meat is falling off the bones and is very tender. Put ribs on serving platter, pour sauce over top, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with Polenta, Mashed Potatoes, or broad noodles, and a green salad.
