Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
  2. Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil and let it reduce by half.
  7. Return the short ribs to the pot and add beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves.
  8. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  9. Remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
