How To Make braised short ribs with gravy

  • 1
    Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add the oil to a Dutch oven. Brown the ribs on all sides. Remove the ribs to a slow cooker. Add the celery, carrots, onions, and garlic to the pan and cook until browned and soft. Add the wine and cook until most of it has evaporated.
  • 2
    Add to the ribs in the slow cooker. Add the beef broth, rosemary, oregano and bay leaf. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  • 3
    Remove ribs from the slow cooker. Strain the gravy in a fine mesh strainer. Place in a grease separator and drain off as much grease as possible. Discard grease and solids. Add the butter to a sauce pan then whisk in the flour. Brown the roux for 2 minutes. Add the strained degreased broth to the flour mixture to thicken. Serve the ribs over mashed potatoes covered with the gravy.
