Description
Tender, fall-apart boneless beef short ribs, seared and slow-braised in the oven.
Ingredients
Boneless beef short ribs
Onion, garlic, and celery (aromatics)
Salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary
Braising liquid: beef stock, red wine, or beer
Optional: carrots, mushrooms, or pearl onions
Oil with a high smoke point (e.g. canola or grapeseed)
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the ribs and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Deglaze the pan with your chosen braising liquid, scraping up the browned bits. Add aromatics (onion, garlic, celery, herbs) so the liquid covers about two-thirds of the ribs.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (162°C).
Return the ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2.5-3 hours, checking periodically that the liquid hasn’t evaporated, until the meat is fork-tender.
