No oven is needed for this beef short rib recipe. Instead, your stovetop does double duty, first in searing flour-dredged ribs, then in simmering them with vegetables and herbs in a savory mixture of wine and stock. This dish is great served over mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 3 large bay leaves
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 8 cups beef stock
  • 0.25 cups chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Season ribs with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear ribs in hot oil in small batches, adding oil as needed, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.

  4. 4

    Add onions to the pot and sauté for 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots; sauté for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper, then stir in garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add stock and bring to a boil.

  7. 7

    Reduce the heat to low and add ribs.

  8. 8

    Simmer until meat pulls away easily from the bone and sauce has thickened, about 2 hours.

  9. 9

    Discard bay leaves. Stir in parsley and serve.
