Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery chopped

Method
 

  1. Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. In a slow cooker, place the seared short ribs, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, carrots, and celery. Pour the liquid mixture over the top.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve the short ribs with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar to the sauce.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the short ribs once cooked, and simmer the sauce on the stove until it reduces to your desired consistency.
