Print Recipe

A rich and hearty short rib ragu perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds short ribs
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the wine has reduced by half.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, and the short ribs back to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
  6. Remove short ribs and shred the meat, discarding the bones. Stir the meat back into the sauce and cook for another 10 minutes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a bay leaf during cooking.
  • Serve over pasta, polenta, or mashed potatoes.
