Steps:
- For ribs:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large oven-proof pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle ribs with coarse salt and pepper. Add to pot in single layer and sauté until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer ribs to large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pot. Add onions; sauté until brown, about 6 minutes. Add parsnips; sauté until beginning to color, about 6 minutes. Mix in garlic, then rosemary. Add wine and broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits.
- Return ribs and any accumulated juices to pot, arranging in single layer. Bring to simmer; cover and place in oven. Braise until ribs are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Using tongs, transfer ribs to clean bowl. Spoon fat from pan juices. Boil juices until just beginning to thicken, about 10 minutes. Mix 1 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl to smooth paste. Whisk into juices in pot; simmer until thickened enough to coat spoon, about 5 minutes longer. Season gravy with coarse salt and pepper. Return ribs to pot; spoon gravy over. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over low heat before serving.

I was on my home from the grocery, all set to make a different recipe, when I stopped at the library and saw this one in the May 2009 issue of Bon Appetit. I had to sub potatoes for the parsnips and used chicken broth instead of beef, but ended up very pleased with this recipe. I did not thicken the gravy, but include the instructions for doing so. This goes very well with mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 deg F. Melt 1 tbl butter in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle ribs with coarse salt and pepper, and add to pot in single-layer without crowding. (Do in batches, if necessary). When browned on all sides, remove to bowl.
- Add 1 tbl butter to pot (I did not as my ribs exuded enough fat). Add onions and saute until brown, about 6 minutes.
- Add parsnips and saute until they begin to color, about 6 minutes.
- Add garlic and then the rosemary.
- Add wine and broth and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot in a single layer. Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in oven.
- Braise until the ribs are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Using tongs, remove ribs to a serving bowl and keep warm.
- Skim fat from the gravy, and boil until it starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix together 1 tbl butter with the flour. Adding it in bits, whisk this into the gravy and continue to cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes longer.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cover ribs with gravy.
- Note: This can be made up to two days ahead. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef short ribs for the best flavor and texture.
- Sear the short ribs in a hot pan before braising to develop a rich brown color and enhance the flavor.
- Use a good quality Zinfandel wine for braising the short ribs. The wine will add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid, such as carrots, onions, and celery. The vegetables will add flavor and texture to the sauce.
- Braise the short ribs for at least 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the short ribs with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
