Description
A comforting dish featuring tender beef short ribs served over creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lbs beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine or grape juice
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in your Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and garlic until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the beef broth and red wine (or grape juice). Stir to combine. Add thyme and rosemary, then return the seared ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in liquid. Cover and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
- Boil peeled and chopped potatoes with garlic cloves until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain, then mash together with milk and butter until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Transfer the ribs to a serving platter and spoon the braising liquid over them. Serve over the creamy garlic mash.
Notes
For creamier mashed potatoes, increase the butter or cream. Customize with different herbs or spices for variation.
