Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Generously season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper and sear them in a heated Dutch oven with olive oil for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Sauté chopped onion, carrots, and celery in the same pot for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Deglaze with red wine, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot, then reduce the wine for about 5 minutes.
Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar, then return the ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged.
Cover the pot and braise in the oven for 2 ½ to 3 hours or until fork-tender.
Skim off excess fat before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.
