Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons oxtail seasoning or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine optional for richer flavor
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce optional, for deeper flavor

Instructions
 

Prep the Ribs:

  • Pat the beef short ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with oxtail seasoning, salt, and pepper on all sides.

Sear the Ribs:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear on all sides until they are browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

Sauté the Aromatics:

  • In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Deglaze the Pot:

  • Add red wine (if using) to the pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Cook the Short Ribs:

  • Return the seared ribs to the pot. Add the beef broth, soy sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falls off the bone.

Finish and Serve:

  • Remove the ribs from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Serve the ribs with the sauce from the pot spooned over the top.
