Ingredients:
For the Beef Short Ribs:
4 beef short ribs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
Fresh parsley, for garnish
For the Mashed Potatoes:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Beef Short Ribs:
Brown the ribs: Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, then sear them in the pot until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Cook the vegetables: In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pot: Pour in the red wine (if using) and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add herbs and simmer: Add the thyme, rosemary, and carrots to the pot. Return the short ribs to the pot, making sure they’re partially submerged in the liquid.
Cook the ribs: Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C). Cook for about 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is falling off the bone.
Make the Mashed Potatoes:6. Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, add the peeled potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
7. Mash the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream. Mash until smooth, adding more cream as needed for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Dish:8. Plate the dish: Spoon a generous amount of mashed potatoes onto each plate. Place the tender beef short ribs on top, then drizzle with the gravy from the pot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Pro Tip:
For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the gravy for depth.
Serve with a side of sautéed green beans or roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
