1/2 c. Flour
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 tbsp Olive Oil
3 tbsp butter divided
1 tbsp Flour
1/3 c. Onion minced
2 Carrots peeled and minced
2 Stalks Celery minced
6 cloves of Garlic minced

How to make Braised Short Ribs

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 2: In a pie dish or pan, place the flour, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: With the flour mixture, coat all sides of the rib and set aside.

Step 4: Heat a few drizzles of olive oil in a dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 3 to 4 ribs at a time in the pot and cook both sides until brown. Transfer to a plate when done.

Step 5: Leave only the browned bits in the pan and remove the black flour. Adjust the heat to medium and add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Immediately add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute for about 5 to 6 minutes until tender. Add the rest of the flour and stir for another 30 seconds.

Step 6: To the veggies in the pan, add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add in the herbs and bay leaves. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and transfer in the preheated oven. Bake for about 2 1/2-3 hours until the meat is fall-apart-tender and the liquid has reduced.

Step 7: When done, take out of the oven and remove the bay leaves and herbs. Serve the Braised Short Ribs immediately over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes:

1. If you will use a pot other than a Dutch oven, or the pot you are using is larger than 3-quarts, or your oven cooks hot, adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

2. Store the ribs for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
