Delicious Braised Short Ribs With Red Wine Gravy And Vegetables

Since i make this without really measuring, i cannot really list the exact amounts that i use, the amounts stated are as close as it gets to what i use when i make this, as long as you do use a minimum of 2 cups red wine all other ingredients really don't have to be exact. I also use this to make shanks and pot roast. Since me family loves spicy, i always add in red pepper flakes, but that is optional. I serve this with hot cooked pasta. If you are making a pot roast with this recipe you will have to adjust the cooking time, coat the roast in seasoned flour and brown on all sides, then continue with the recipe as stated. The short ribs are cooked on top of the stove, but you also can cook it in the oven if desired. Add in some small fresh button mushrooms too!!

Steps

In a bowl mix together the flour with allspice , seasoning salt and black pepper.

Coat the short ribs in the flour mixture to coat on all sides.

Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add in the ribs and brown on all sides.

Transfer the ribs to a plate or bowl and reserve 2 tablespoons of the flour mix.

Add in more oil to the pot if needed.

Add in onions , carrots , celery and thyme.

Saut for about 20-25 minutes , or until veggies begin to brown scraping the pot for any browned bits.

Add in the fresh garlic the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Return the ribs to the pot with any juices from the plate , arranging in a single layer if possible.

Add in tomatoes and bay leaves.

Add in broth , worcestershire sauce and wine.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low , cover pot and simmer for about 1 hour.

Uncover the pot , then simmer uncovered for about another 30 minutes , or until the meat is tender , skimming the accumulated fat from top occasionally.
