Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in the Dutch oven, brown ribs on each side for 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté diced onion, celery, and carrots for 5 minutes. Add crushed garlic in the last minute.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, then pour in Cabernet Sauvignon, scraping up browned bits. Reduce for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano. Return short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged.
  6. Cover and braise in the oven for 2½ to 3 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes, then strain the sauce and serve over the short ribs.
