Instructions

Season and sear short ribs in batches in neutral oil until dark brown on all sides, about 8–10 minutes per batch.
Remove ribs and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until soft.
Add smashed garlic and tomato paste, cook for 1–2 minutes.
Deglaze with red wine, then add ribs back with beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to a 325°F (160°C) oven to braise for 2.5–3 hours.
Remove ribs, strain or reduce the sauce on the stovetop, and whisk in butter for sheen if desired.

Notes

Cool the braise for 20–30 minutes and skim fat, or refrigerate overnight and remove hardened fat for a cleaner sauce. For a gluten-free version, simply omit any flour dredge.
