Ingredients
- 3 lb beef short ribs
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 ½-2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 celery ribs finely chopped
- 2 White onions finely chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tbsp White miso paste
- ½ cup red wine or beef broth
- ½ cup milk
- 2 ounce cans tomatoes see notes
- 2 large sprigs fresh sage
Instructions
- Season the short ribs well with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp of oil in the bottom of a cooking pot, shallow casserole or the removable insert of your slow cooker if you have a sear-and-stew model over a medium high heat. Brown the short ribs, working in batches, and removing them to a kitchen paper lined plate to soak up extra oil. Add more oil to the pan as you work if needed.
- Drain off all of the fat except for 1 1/2 tbsp. Add the chopped celery, onions and carrots and a little more salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and miso, cooking for a couple of minutes more until caramelized.
- Add the red wine and use the wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan. At this point unless you’re already using the slow cooker insert, transfer the contents of the pan to the slow cooker. Add the short ribs along with the milk, tinned tomatoes and sage.
- Season well with pepper before cooking for 8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper before serving with mashed potatoes or polenta.
Notes
- Oven instructions: To cook this in the oven, make the short ribs in a large Dutch oven and double the amount of red wine. Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours at 285F.
- The tomatoes: Testing this recipe we found that the quality of tomatoes really makes a big difference to the flavor of the final dish so use the best you can afford: we like Mutti’s San Marzano tomatoes.
- The herbs: Fresh rosemary and thyme can be substituted for the sage.
- Make ahead: These short ribs work well made ahead (up to 3 days), and you can skim the fat off the top of the sauce before reheating them.
