Mulled Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs

1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2: Put a Dutch oven with neutral oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the short ribs and sear on each side until golden brown. Remove the meat.

3: Add the chopped vegetables and cook for a couple minutes until they begin to soften. Add the tomato paste and cook down for another couple minutes.

4: Add the meat back into the Dutch oven along with the herbs, spices, garlic, wine, and broth.

5: Cover with the lid and braise in the oven for 2.5 hours.

6: After cooking, remove the meat and strain the liquid, discarding the vegetables, herbs, and spices.

7: Return the liquid back to the heat and reduce for approx 20 min until the sauce has thickened. You can add a tablespoon of butter here if you’d like.

8: Serve your meat atop some mashed potatoes and finish with the sauce and minced fresh chives.
