Ingredients
4 lbs beef short ribs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Season the beef short ribs with salt and black pepper.
3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
4. In the same pot, add chopped onion and garlic; sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
5. Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
7. Add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
8. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven.
9. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
10. Remove the ribs from the pot and discard bay leaves.
11. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
12. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
13. Return the short ribs to the pot to coat with the sauce before serving.
