Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 2 celery stalks finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes - 1 can
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound pasta variety of your choice, such as spaghetti or pappardelle
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot.
- Add the short ribs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Return the short ribs to the pot.
- Add the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the short ribs are tender and falling off the bone.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- Serve the Bolognese Short Ribs with sauce over the cooked pasta. If the sauce is too thick, you can loosen it with some reserved pasta water.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
