Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt
fresh ground black pepper
5 1/2-6 lbs beef short ribs, English cut
1/4 cup olive oil
2 ounces pancetta, chopped
2 yellow onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup dry red wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • On a plate, stir together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Turn the ribs in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  • In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over med-high heat.
  • Working in batches, sear the ribs, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add the pancetta to the pot and saute until mostly crisp, 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the onions and saute until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the carrots, tomato paste, and sugar and cook, stirring often, until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine, bring to a boil, and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the pan bottom.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, broth, and vinegar and bring to a boil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°; return the ribs to the pot with the tomato mixture.
  • Add the bay leaves, rosemary and thyme sprigs, and oregano.
  • Cover and cook in the oven until the ribs are very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Skim as much fat as possible from the cooking liquid and discard the bay leaves.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
