Ingredients

  • 6 lbs short ribs

  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced

  • 1 cup dry red wine I used Madeira
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
  • Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs of the oil and let it heat. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels.

  • Remove to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and repeat browning and remove remaining ribs to the plate.
  • Add the celery, carrot, onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Next add the tomato paste and stir into the veggies in the pot. Cook for about 1 minute.

  • Add the short ribs back to the pan. Cover tightly and bake for approximately 3 hours (or until meat is very tender).
