• While the short ribs are browning, puree all the vegetables and garlic in the food processor until it forms a coarse paste.
• When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan.
• Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables.
• Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

SIMPLE BRAISED SHORT RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt (all sides).
• Heat a 3.5 or 5 quart Dutch oven or braiser pot over high heat. Add the olive oil. (I use this Dutch oven.)
• Once hot, add the short ribs (fat side down) and brown on two sides for 4-5 minutes (on each side). Depending on your Dutch oven size, you may need to work in two batches. Once the short ribs have browned, set aside on a plate.
• Drain the excess fat from the Dutch oven, leaving behind about 1 tablespoon of fat.
• Over medium-high heat, add the onions and carrots and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook the veggies for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stirring to coat.
• Add the red wine and broth/stock. Stir to dissolve the flour in the liquid and allow the liquid to reach a lively simmer.
• Add the short ribs to the veggies and liquid (they shouldn't be submerged, just nestled in). And tuck the rosemary sprigs in the liquid, around the short ribs and veggie. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few turns of fresh pepper.
• Once the ingredients reach a slight boil/lively simmer, place the lid on the Dutch oven. Place the pot in the oven and braise the short ribs and veggies, covered, for 2 1/2 hours.
• After 2 1/2 hours, remove the short ribs from the oven. The meat should easily fall off the bone and be fork tender.
• Serve the braised short ribs (and onions and carrots and juice) over mashed potatoes or polenta, or with a side of roasted sweet potatoes.
