beef short ribs

I bought one of those meat packages from the butcher shop that included beef short ribs. I had never in my life cooked short ribs, but they were beautiful cuts of meat and I wanted to make something special. I looked at all kinds of recipes, but nothing really tickled my fancy. The meat was thawed and ready to cook, so I just decided to wing it! I had made some thick lemon garlic pork chops using the stove top to oven method a few weeks before, so I thought, why not? This method made the ribs so tender and juicy, with the sear on each side sealing in the juices. The sauce was delicious!

How To Make beef short ribs

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400°
  • 2
    In large oven proof skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper on both sides while oil heats. When oil is shimmering hot, carefully place short ribs in skillet and cook for about 3 - 4 minutes. Flip the ribs and immediately place pan in preheated oven. This gives the meat a nice sear on each side.

    Cook for 30 to 40 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness. About 10 minutes before removing from the oven, place an onion ring on top of each rib. Remove pan from oven and remove the ribs to a plate and set aside.

    Over medium high heat on stove top add remaining onion rings, garlic and mushrooms to pan drippings, stirring until onions are translucent. Add flour and continue stirring and scraping the pan until mixture thickens. Add red wine, stirring constantly. Add beef broth and keep stirring until sauce is thick and smooth. Reduce heat to low and return the short ribs to the pan, flipping to coat with sauce. Sprinkle parsley and rosemary leaves, salt and pepper over the top. Serve immediately.
