Easy Payoff Oven Short Ribs

By: Not Your Mothers Casseroles by Faith Durand, Harvard Common Press

Easy Payoff Oven Short Ribs transform from tough bits of meat to sumptuous bits that slide right off the bone. This short ribs recipe is fairly simple, but you can add more spices and lots of vegetables during the braise for a big meal.

Serves6

Cooking Time3 hr

Ingredients

2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground mustard
4 pounds bone-in short ribs
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 large onion, diced
2 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth
2 cups dry red wine
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 long sprig of fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
10 cloves of garlic, unpeeled

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Mix the salt, pepper, and mustard in a small bowl. Pat the short ribs very dry, then pat them all over with the seasoning mix.
Heat the olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the short ribs in the olive oil until they are very well browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the browned short ribs to a plate.
Add the tomato paste and onion to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Add the herbs and garlic cloves, then return the short ribs to the pot. Cover and put in the oven.
Cook for about 3 hours, or until the ribs are very tender and falling off the bone.
At this point, they can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 3 days. (In fact, short ribs, like other braised meats, are even better on the second or third day after their initial cooking.)
To serve refrigerated short ribs, skim any solid fat off the surface of the sauce, then reheat, covered, in a 350 degrees F oven for about 30 minutes.

You had to put the red wine in this recipe, didn't you? I think even that one ingredient changes short ribs so much. The flavor is so rich, and I think it adds so much depth to the dish. I love that you put rosemary and thyme in these ribs too. I want a pan of roasted corn on the cob to go with it.
