Braised Short Ribs (Printable Version)

Tender beef short ribs simmered in a rich broth with tomato, thyme, and garlic for a comforting, flavorful main course.

# Ingredients:

→ Meat

01 - 2 pounds of boneless beef short ribs

→ Seasonings

02 - Salt and black pepper
03 - ½ teaspoon fresh thyme
04 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

→ Liquids

06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 2 cups beef broth
08 - ¼ cup tomato paste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Season the meat with salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the short ribs and sear the meat on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes total.
02 - Pour in the broth. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and garlic powder, and sprinkle in salt and black pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook for 2 hours.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Don't skimp on the beef quality. Select a high-grade cut and make sure it is well-marbled with fat for maximum flavor.
02 - Brown your beef short ribs before adding them to the slow cooker or Dutch oven. This helps create a flavorful saucy base for your dish.
03 - Season the meat generously with salt and pepper before browning them in a hot pan on all sides. This will create a nice crust that seals in all the juices.
