Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil, divided |
6 pounds beef short ribs |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
1 large onion, coarsely chopped |
1 carrot, chopped |
4 cloves garlic, chopped |
2 celery ribs, chopped |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
2 cups dry red wine |
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock |
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, in thick puree |
3 thyme sprigs |
1 bay leaf |
1 orange, zested |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat about 2-tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat.
2. Season the short ribs well with salt and pepper. Over medium heat, brown ribs for 6 minutes on each side. You will need to do this in batches. Remove the browned short ribs to a plate and repeat with remaining ribs and oil.
3. Add onion, carrots, garlic, celery, and salt and pepper to the Dutch oven and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and wine to the vegetables and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the stock, diced tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf. Return the browned short ribs and any juices that have accumulated back into the Dutch oven. Add orange zest. Cover with a heavy lid and place in the oven and braise for 3 hours or until the meat is very tender.
4. Once the ribs are tender, remove the ribs to a platter. Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the short ribs over the stone ground grits, if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
