Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Gather your ingredients.
Season beef short ribs generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven and sear the ribs for 8-10 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the red wine, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pot for flavors. Reduce for about 5 minutes.
Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Return seared ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged.
Cover securely and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until fork-tender.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes. Skim off excess fat from the sauce, serve garnished with fresh parsley.
