Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3½ pounds boneless short ribs or can use 4 1/2 pounds bone-in short ribs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 peeled and sliced carrots
- 1 sliced medium onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup root beer
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Season 3½ pounds boneless short ribs generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add half the short ribs to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining short ribs. Remove the meat from the pan; place on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add 3 peeled and sliced carrots and 1 sliced medium onion to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes or until browned. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Place the meat back into the pan; add 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup root beer and bring to a simmer. Cover and bake the short ribs for 4 hours.
- Remove the short ribs and onion and carrots from the pan. Skim the fat off the top of the cooking liquid.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon corn starch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer on the stove, then whisk in the cornstarch. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
- Return the short ribs and vegetables to the pan and coat with sauce. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and serve.
