- 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
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 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.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot, cooking until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Stir to combine.
- Return the short ribs to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let cool slightly before shredding the meat.
- 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.
