Braised Short Ribs
Serves 6
Time: 3 hours

Ingredients:
- 2kg bone-in beef short ribs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 500ml red wine
- 500ml beef stock
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 160°C.

Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Set aside.

In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 2 minutes until it darkens.

Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half. Add the beef stock, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Return the ribs to the pot, nestling them into the liquid.

Cover and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is fork-tender. Remove the herb sprigs and bay leaves before serving.
