Ingredients
  

For the Ribs
  • 2 pounds Short Ribs Choose well-marbled cuts for rich, beefy flavor.
  • 1 cup Red Wine A full-bodied wine like Cabernet Sauvignon enhances flavor.
  • 1 Onion Sweetness adds an aromatic touch.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Infuses savory notes; consider roasting for richness.
  • 1 Herbs (Thyme/Rosemary) Brings earthiness and fragrance.
For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet) Starchy potatoes create creamy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Milk For creaminess; can use cream for richness.
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Adds richness; can substitute with olive oil.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into uniform chunks. Gather your short ribs, onions, garlic, and herbs. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir until translucent, about 3-5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pot for flavor.
  4. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits. Allow to reduce for about 5 minutes.
  5. Return the short ribs to the pot with thyme and rosemary. Add enough beef broth to cover the ribs. Cover and braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  6. While the ribs cook, boil your potatoes and garlic in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, return to the pot, add milk and butter, and mash until smooth.
  7. Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving over garlic mashed potatoes with braising sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.
