Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and gather all ingredients.
  2. Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper, then sear in olive oil for 8-10 minutes until golden-brown.
  3. Remove the ribs and sauté chopped onions, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Deglaze with red wine, scraping the pot's bottom and simmering for 5 minutes.
  6. Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar, and return the ribs to the pot.
  7. Cover and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  8. Remove pot from oven, skim excess fat, let ribs rest for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
