Delicious Beef Short Ribs Recipe - British Cuisine

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (preferably a dry variety)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper.

    Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Sear the Ribs

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the ribs on all sides until browned.

    Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even browning.
  3. Sauté Vegetables

    Remove the ribs and sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in the same pot until softened.

    Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom for added flavor.
  4. Add Liquids

    Stir in the red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

    Let the wine cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Cook the Ribs

    Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and simmer on low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

    Check occasionally, adding more broth if necessary.
  6. Serve

    Remove bay leaves, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

    Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
