Print Recipe

Tender braised beef short ribs slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Season beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, add chopped onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add tomato paste, smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well.
  6. Pour in beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce. Add bay leaf and bring to a simmer.
  7. Return short ribs to the pot, spooning sauce over the meat.
  8. Cover and transfer to the oven. Braise for 2½–3 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  9. Remove bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.
