Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef short ribs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot, cooking until softened.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Stir to combine.
  7. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the oven.
  8. Bake for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
  9. Remove the pot from the oven and let cool slightly before shredding the meat.
  10. Serve over pasta, polenta, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For added flavor, let the ragu sit overnight in the fridge.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
