Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Season all sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a heavy, oven-safe pot (with lid, for later use) over high heat. Add in olive oil and allow to heat briefly. Sear short ribs in olive oil, about 1 minute per side, to render fat. Remove from pot and set aside.
  3. Add in onion and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add in garlic and saute 1 minute more.
  4. Pour in beef broth, red wine (if using) and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Return short ribs to pan. Place a rosemary sprig on top.
  5. Cover with lid and transfer to preheated oven to braise for about 2.5 hours, until meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork. Be sure the lid is sitting properly to avoid having your liquids evaporate through steam escaping the pot.
  6. Discard rosemary and serve hot with additional salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

  • If using onion and garlic powders in place of fresh onion and garlic, simply add the seasoning to the short ribs once they are seared and proceed with adding liquids to the pan, slow cooker, or electric pressure cooker.

  • Don't have an oven-safe pot? You can let it simmer, covered , in a regular pot on the stove for 2.5 hours.
  • Don't want to use red wine? Simply replace the red wine with an additional 1 cup of beef broth.
