Braised Short Ribs

 

Balsamic Braised Short Ribs 

Ingredients:

- 4 pounds beef short ribs

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 large onion, chopped

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup balsamic vinegar

- 2 cups beef broth

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

- 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions:

1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Add short ribs and brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove ribs and set aside.

3. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

4. Pour in balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

5. Add beef broth, brown sugar, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.

6. Return short ribs to the pot. Cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

7. Serve the ribs with the reduction sauce, spooned over the top.
