Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and season short ribs with salt, thyme, rosemary, and pepper.
Preheating the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit ensures the short ribs cook slowly and evenly. Seasoning the short ribs with salt, thyme, rosemary, and pepper adds depth and complexity to the dish. Make sure to coat the short ribs evenly.
- 2
Sear short ribs in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Searing the short ribs in hot oil creates a rich, caramelized crust on the surface. This step is crucial for developing the flavor of the dish. Make sure to not overcrowd the pot, and sear the short ribs in batches if necessary.
- 3
Remove short ribs from pot and set aside, then sauté onion, carrots, and celery until tender, about 10 minutes.
Removing the short ribs from the pot prevents them from overcooking. Sautéing the onion, carrots, and celery until tender creates a flavorful base for the sauce. Make sure to stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent burning.
- 4
Add red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste to pot, scraping up browned bits from bottom.
Adding the red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste to the pot creates a rich, flavorful sauce. Scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot adds depth and complexity to the sauce. Make sure to bring the sauce to a boil before reducing the heat.
- 5
Return short ribs to pot, cover, and transfer to preheated oven.
Returning the short ribs to the pot ensures they are fully coated in the sauce. Covering the pot and transferring it to the preheated oven allows the short ribs to cook slowly and evenly. Make sure to check the short ribs occasionally to ensure they are tender and falling off the bone.
- 6
Braise short ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until tender and falling off the bone.
Braising the short ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours ensures they are tender and falling off the bone. This step is crucial for developing the texture of the dish. Make sure to check the short ribs occasionally to ensure they are cooked to the desired level of tenderness.

tbh, this recipe is a total bust for me... i mean, i'm all about tryin new things and whatnot, but beef short ribs just dont cut it when you're vegan, ya know? and dont even get me started on all the meat broth and stuff... can defo see why people would like it and all, but it's just not my vibe. wouldnt recomend for any of my fellow plant-based pals out there

I must confess that I was thoroughly underwhelmed by thisrecipe for Beef Short Ribs, principally due to its egregious omission of plant-based alternatives and its flagrant disregard for the burgeoning zeitgeist of sustainable gastronomy. As a staunch advocate for vegetarianism and a proponent of eco-friendly culinary practices, I found the gratuitous emphasis on animal products to be woefully pedestrian and anachronistic. Furthermore, the recipe's failure to accommodate gluten-intolerant individuals, such as myself, by neglecting to provide gluten-free modifications or suggestions, strikes me as a lamentable oversight. In light of these criticisms, I must reiterate that this recipe falls precipitously short of my expectations and deserves a cursory rating of 1 star.

I try this recipe, it very good. Meat so tender, it fall off bone. Sauce very flavorful, but I think it need some spice. I like Korean BBQ, so I add some gochujang to sauce, it make it very good. One thing I not like, recipe use a lot of ingredient, it make it hard to follow. But overall, it very good recipe. I want to try it again, maybe add some soy sauce or garlic to make it taste like Japanese ramen.

Waah, what a match-winning recipe! The Beef Short Ribs are a definite goal-scorer, with the sauce being the real MVP. The combination of thyme, rosemary, and pepper is a slam dunk, but I'd like to see a bit more heat in the dish - maybe some red pepper flakes or a spicy red wine to give it that vindaloo vibe. Overall, it's a solid four-star performance, but with a few tweaks, it could be a championship-winning dish!

OMG, this beef short ribs recipe is amazing!!! I love cooking and eating non veg food, and this one is definitly on my favourites list now. It has all the flaovurs that i like, the slow cooked beef is so tender it falls of the bone, and the sauce is so rich and flavourful. I would suggest adding some red chilli peppers or chilli flakes to give it an extra kick, cuz i love spicy food. The instruction are easy to follow, even tho somtimes i had to read it twice to understand whats going on. Overall i am very impressed with this recipe and i will defnitly make it agen. The only thing that stopped me from giving it 5 stars is that its not tradiotional indian dish, but still its a great recipe.

¡Estoy decepcionada! Esta receta de beef short ribs es todo lo opuesto a lo que busco en un plato. La carne es el centro de la receta y no hay forma de adaptarla a una versión vegana sin perder su esencia. Me duele ver que仍 hay recetas que promueven el consumo de productos animales y contribuyen al sufrimiento de los animales. Además, como alérgica al sóyo, esta receta no ofrece ninguna opción viable para mí. **Necesitamos más platos veganos y creativos que reflejen la diversidad y la compasión**. ¡Viva la revolución vegana!

I try this recpie for the beef short ribs, but is not for me. I am vegeterian and dont eat the beef. I think this recpie can be change to use portobello mushroms or somethin like that, and can be delicous. The instructions are good and easy to folow, but I dont like that have no mexican spice or flavor. The red wine and beef broth make me think of a french cuisine, and is not my favorit. Maybe other peoples like this recpie, but for me, is not the best.

I try this recipe for beef short ribs, and it's really delicious! I like how tender the meat is, and the sauce is so flavorful. I just wish they have some spicy kick, you know? Maybe I add some red pepper flakes next time. Anyway, the instructions are easy to follow, and I like how it's not too complicated. My only problem is, I wish they have some lactose-free alternative, but I guess I just use beef broth without any problem. Overall, it's really good recipe, and I recommand it to my friends.

As I delved into the **Beef Short Ribs** recipe, I couldn't help but appreciate the sophistication and nuance that underlies this classic dish. The slow-cooked short ribs, fall-off-the-bone tender and smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce, evoke the hearty, comforting nature of a traditional French *daube*. The preparation, while somewhat laborious, is a testament to the notion that true culinary artistry requires patience and dedication. The judicious use of red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste in the sauce adds a depth of flavor that is nothing short of *divin*. If I were to offer a critique, it would be that the recipe, while excellent in its own right, is perhaps a tad unrefined, a sentiment that is reinforced by the absence of more... shall we say, *élevé* ingredients. Nonetheless, this dish is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate, and I would be delighted to serve it at a dinner party, perhaps alongside a selection of artisanal cheeses and a nicely toasted *baguette*.

I must say, I'm utterly disappointed in this recipe. As a vegetarian, the sight of beef short ribs makes me shudder. The thought of slow-cooking them in a rich, flavorful sauce is almost... barbaric. Where's the compassion? The kindness? I long for the comforting flavors of saag paneer or the warmth of a freshly baked naan. This recipe is an affront to everything I hold dear. To make matters worse, the use of traditional Western ingredients like red wine and beef broth is a bleak reminder of the culinary world's lack of consideration for lactose intolerant individuals like myself. I implore you, dear recipe creators, to consider the needs of vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions. Until then, I'll have to give this recipe a solid 1 star - and that's being generous.

Que prato delicioso! Essenhas costelas de boi são simplesmente fantásticas, bem temperadas e muito saborosas. A técnica de cozinhar lentamente no forno é perfeita para deixar a carne tão suave. A única coisa que me fez não dar 5 estrelas é que sinto que falta um pouco de picância e sabor latino na receita, talvez um toque de aji amarillo ou um fio de pimenta para dar aquele algo a mais. Mas no geral, é uma receita ótima e muito fácil de seguir!

I gotta say, these Beef Short Ribs are crazy tender and delicious! The sauce is so rich and flavorful, it's like a party in my mouth. I love how the thyme and rosemary add a kinda herbal vibe to the dish. My only issue is that the recipe doesn't have any Japanese twist, lol. But for a Western dish, this is pretty legit. One thing I'd change is using gluten-free flour to coat the short ribs, since I'm mildly gluten intolerant. Still, this recipe is a solid 4 out of 5 stars for me. Maybe next time I'll try adding some sake or mirin to the sauce to give it aJapanese kick

I try this recipe and it is very delicous. The short ribs are very tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I like that it use beef broth and tomato paste to make the sauce, it give a very good taste. I also like that it is lactose free, so I dont have to worry about stomach problem. The only thing that I dont like is that it take very long time to cook, but it is worth it. I think I will try to make it spicier next time by add some red pepper flake or spicy sauce. Overall, I very recommend this recipe to everyone who like meat and like to try new thing.

I am disappointed with this recipe because it includes beef. As a vegetarian, I do not eat meat. The recipe for Beef Short Ribs is not suitable for me. I would like to see a vegetarian version of this recipe, maybe with portobello mushrooms or eggplant. The method of cooking is interesting, with the use of red wine and tomato paste, but I would need to replace the beef with a vegetarian ingredient. I hope in the future I can see more vegetarian recipes.
