Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the beef short ribs generously with kosher salt. Heat the pot and add light olive oil. Sear the ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, reduce heat and add more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onion, celery, and carrot for 3-4 minutes, then add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in tomato paste with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized.
- Pour in the red wine, using a spoon to deglaze the pot, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the short ribs to the pot, add broth to cover them, followed by crushed tomatoes and herb bundle with bay leaves.
- Simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours with the lid slightly ajar until the ribs are fork-tender.
- Remove herb bundle and bay leaves, shred the meat if using bone-in ribs, and return it to the sauce.
- Adjust seasoning and serve over cooked pasta, garnished with parsley and Parmigiano Reggiano.
