Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (generous) ground allspice
12 3- to 4-inch-long meaty short ribs (about 5 1/2 pounds), top membrane trimmed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large onions, chopped
3 large carrots, peeled, chopped
3 large celery stalks, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
8 ounces plum tomatoes, chopped
3 small bay leaves
3 cups canned beef broth
2 cups dry red wine
Chopped celery leaves

Steps:

  • Stir flour and allspice in medium bowl to blend. Sprinkle short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Add 6 ribs to flour mixture and turn to coat. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add floured ribs; saut) until brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Repeat flouring and browning with remaining 6 ribs; reserve remaining flour-coating mixture. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot. Add onions, carrots and celery stalks; saut) until vegetables begin to brown and are very tender, scraping bottom of pot often, about 30 minutes.
  • Add garlic, thyme and caraway seeds to pot; stir 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes and bay leaves. Return ribs and accumulated juices to pot, arranging ribs in single layer. Add broth and wine. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
  • Uncover pot. Simmer ribs 30 minutes, occasionally spooning fat from surface; reserve 2 tablespoons fat. Stir reserved flour-coating mixture and reserved 2 tablespoons fat in small bowl until smooth; mix paste into sauce around ribs. Simmer until meat is very tender and gravy thickens, about 45 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer short ribs and gravy to large bowl. Sprinkle with celery leaves.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my short ribs turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These short ribs were a bit tough, but the gravy was delicious. I think I'll try cooking them for a longer period of time next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The short ribs are always tender and juicy, and the gravy is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

OMG! These short ribs were amazing! The red wine gravy was so flavorful and the meat was so tender. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This braised short ribs recipe is a keeper! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the gravy was rich and flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
