Mushroom and Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
Indulge in the rich, deep flavors of our Mushroom and Red Wine Braised Short Ribs, a dish that embodies the essence of comfort food. These tender short ribs are braised for hours in a luscious blend of red wine and aromatic herbs, creating a sauce that is perfect for drenching mashed potatoes or crusty bread. This dish draws inspiration from traditional French cuisine, where slow-cooked meats are a staple. As the ribs simmer, the flavors meld beautifully, making it a meal that not only warms the body but also the soul.
Ingredients
- Short ribs
- 4 pounds
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onions
- 2, diced
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Mushrooms
- 8 ounces, sliced
- Red wine
- 2 cups
- Beef broth
- 2 cups
- Bay leaf
- 1
- Thyme
- 1 teaspoon, dried or 1 tablespoon fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear them on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil and allow the wine to reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Stir to combine, then return the seared short ribs to the pot. The liquid should almost cover the ribs.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2 to 3 hours or until the ribs are fork-tender.
- Once done, remove the ribs from the pot and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. Return the sauce to the pot and simmer for a few minutes to thicken if desired.
- Serve the short ribs hot, drizzled with the mushroom-red wine sauce.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the short ribs in red wine, garlic, and thyme overnight before cooking.
- Pair this dish with creamy mashed potatoes or a side of roasted vegetables to complete your meal.
