Categories     Meat

Time 4h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -4 lbs beef short ribs, boneless beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves (large)
2 cups chianti wine
1 (32 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped

Steps:

  • Pat the short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat a large, nonstick pan with olive oil. Sauté the short rib pieces over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes on each side or until brown. When finished, transfer the short ribs to a bowl.
  • Next, add the onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for approximately three minutes. Once the onions are translucent, add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  • Add the Chianti, rosemary, beef broth and tomatoes to the pan one at a time, allowing the liquid to evaporate partially before each addition (about two minutes).
  • Return the short ribs to the pan, including any juices that might have accumulated in the bowl. Cover and let simmer for three hours on low heat to complete the braising process.
  • Remove the short ribs from the pan and boil the liquid until it's reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Return the short ribs to the pan and heat thoroughly.

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a heavy bottom for even cooking and to prevent the beef from sticking.
  • Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure a nice brown color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables for a flavorful and colorful dish.
  • Add some herbs and spices to the pot for extra flavor.
  • Let the beef braise for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the beef with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
