Preparation
- First, salt and pepper your short ribs.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, brown the short ribs in oil. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Add the red wine, cook until some of the alcohol has burned off.
- Stir in the garlic, rosemary, tomato paste, beef broth, canned tomatoes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
- Return the browned short ribs, bring to a boil.
- Cover and lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for three hours or until the meat is very tender.
- Transfer the meat to a separate bowl, remove the bones, and pull apart the meat.
- Return to the pot. Give it a stir so all the meat is coated in the sauce.
- NOTE: Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta and garnish with grated pecorino romano and fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
