Makes 4–6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef short ribs, trimmed (if necessary)
- 1/2 cup sweet onions, large diced
- 1/4 cup celery, large diced
- 1/4 cup carrot, large diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic gloves
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 cup water or broth
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI*
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 stalks fresh oregano
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a heavy casserole baking dish with a lid. The liquid should only cover about 2/3 of the short ribs. Based on the size of the baking dish, adjust water to meet this level.
- Close lid and cook in a 275°F oven for at least three hours until the ribs are fork tender.
- Remove the ribs from the baking dish and hold warm, or chill if you are planning to serve them later.
- Strain and reduce braising liquid to about 3/4 cup.
- Toss the short ribs in the liquid and broil on high until bubbly just before serving.
