Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 beef short ribs
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 carrots roughly chopped
  • 3 celery stocks roughly chopped
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ C red wine
  • 1 C chicken stock
  • 1 can cola
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 splash balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the short ribs and brown them on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the short ribs from the pot and set them aside.
  • Add the garlic, onion, carrot, and celery to the pot and sauté until they're softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the red wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any bits that may be stuck.
  • Add the chicken stock, cola, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the salt and pepper.
  • Return the short ribs to the pot and bring to a boil.
  • Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
  • Braise the short ribs for 3 hours, or until they're fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and remove the ribs from the pot. Remove the herbs as well.
  • Blend the braising liquid until smooth. Add a dash of basalmic vinegar and stir.
  • Serve ribs with mashed potatoes or polenta, with extra braising liquid on top.

Notes

If you have leftover sauce from the braising liquid, save it! It makes amazing pasta sauce :)
