Description

A little bit of booze in this recipe goes a long way.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds very meaty bone-in beef short ribs, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onions
  • 2 cups chopped carrots
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Bottle Cotes du Rhone
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 bottle stout beer
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme (tied)
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Mix olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, and short ribs together, coat evenly.
  3. Brown ribs in a dutch oven. Remove when browned on all sides.
  4. Add celery, onions, and carrots and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  6. Add butter and flour to the mixture until combined with vegetables; medium heat (5 minutes).
  7. Add the wine; bring to a boil then lower to simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced.
  8. Add the stock, tomatoes, beer, and thyme; simmer on medium 5 minutes.
  9. Place the ribs in the pot; bring up to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for 2.5 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
  10. Enjoy with grilled brioche rolls or artisanal bread, because you won’t want to waste a drop of that “oh hell yes” sauce.
