Braised short ribs are a classic dish that’s perfect for family gatherings or special occasions. To prepare this dish, start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season 2 lbs of beef short ribs with salt and pepper, and brown them in 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown. Remove the ribs and sauté 1 diced onion, 3 diced carrots, and 2 minced garlic cloves in the same pan until softened. Add 2 tbsp of tomato paste and stir well before pouring in 1 cup of red wine and 2 cups of beef broth. Return the ribs to the pan, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and braise in the oven for 2-3 hours, until the short ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. For serving, pair the dish with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This meal encapsulates the essence of comfort food, perfect for warm gatherings and celebrations.
