Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 carrots (finely chopped)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 ½ cups dry red grape juice
  • 2 cups unsalted beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  2. Season the beef short ribs generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, then transfer them to a plate.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onions and carrots until softened, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic, flour, and tomato paste; cook for another minute while stirring.
  4. Pour in dry red grape juice and scrape up any browned bits from the pot. Add beef stock, balsamic vinegar, salt (if needed), and pepper; bring to a simmer. Return the ribs to the pot and add fresh thyme.
  5. Cover and braise in the oven for about 2 – 2½ hours until tender.
  6. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving over mashed potatoes or polenta.
