Equipment

  • Large Dutch Oven or Braiser

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Bone In Short Ribs
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 3 Carrots diced
  • 2 stalks Celery diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups Beef Broth
  • 16 oz Beer I used a Baltic Porter by Forgotten Boardwarl Brewing
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 4 sprigs Thyme
  • 1 Bay Leaf

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 300F
  • Season short ribs with the salt and pepper on all sides
  • Add the olive oil to a large dutch oven or braiser. Heat on medium high heat.
  • Sear all sides of the short ribs in batches. This should take about 10 minutes. Once they are all seared, remove them from the pot and set them aside on a plate.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the dutch oven. Reduce heat to medium and let them cook until they start to brown.
  • Then, add your brown sugar and tomato paste. Give it a good stir and add your broth and beer.
  • Bring the pot to a boil, and then your short ribs back to the pot.
  • Add some fresh thyme and a bay leaf, cover the pot, and then bake for 3 - 3 1/2 hours. I flipped my short ribs half way through the cooking process so that I could ensure both sides being fully submerged in liquid for some of the cooking time.
