Ingredients
  

  • 3 bone in beef short ribs weight may vary, I usually get a package of 3 that weighes 1.75 lb - 1.95 lb
  • 2 Tb ghee (clarified butter) or 1Tb olive oil + 1 Tb butter
  • 4 C beef stock or beef bone broth
  • 1 sprig rosemary and thyme, each
  • 2 tsp salt + extra
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Preheat ghee (or butter and olive oil) in a heavy bottomed dish such as cast iron or Dutch oven.
  • Pat short ribs on all sides with paper towel.
  • Season generously on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Sear on all sides for 3-5 minutes, until browned.
  • In an oven dish (if different from the one you were searing them in), combine short ribs, broth or stock, 2 tsp of salt, thyme and rosemary.
  • Cover and place in the oven for 2 hours.
  • You can use this time to make a side dish. It’s lovely (and very classic) with mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with rice, polenta, salad, or anything really. My inner carnivore loves it on its own :)
  • When finished, turn the oven off but leave it there for 1 extra hour. This extra step will make the short ribs extra juicy and soft.
  • Serve with cooking juice poured over for extra flavor. Preserve the cooking liquid for reheating. Microwaving might dry it out so I prefer to reheat it on the stove top.
