Slow braised beef short ribs are an incredibly flavorful and succulent dish that can be easily prepared with the right ingredients and cooking techniques. The key to achieving fall-off-the-bone tenderness and rich flavor is in the slow and steady braising process, which allows the meat to absorb the savory flavors of the braising liquid. Whether you prefer a classic red wine braise, a hearty Guinness braise, or a fragrant Asian-inspired braise, there are countless variations to suit every palate. With proper preparation and a bit of patience, you can create a mouthwatering meal that will surely impress your family and friends.

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.

Tips:
- Choose quality beef short ribs: Look for ribs that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
- Brown the ribs before braising: This will help develop their flavor and give them a nice color.
- Use a good quality braising liquid: The liquid you use to braise the ribs will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose something flavorful and aromatic, such as beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both.
- Add vegetables to the braising liquid: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions will add flavor and depth to the braising liquid. They will also help to tenderize the ribs.
- Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to braise beef short ribs is to cook them low and slow over a long period of time. This will allow the ribs to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Slow-braised beef short ribs are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
