These braised short ribs are incredibly tender and flavorful, with a tangy and savory sauce that resembles a homemade BBQ glaze.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 lb (1.35 kg) Beef Short Ribs (they suggest boneless-I used bone in)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Heinz chili sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) Pinot Noir (I used Mark West)
- 2 Bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs in batches, ensuring each side is well-seared. Remove the ribs and set them aside on a platter.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Heinz chili sauce, beef broth, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the ribs for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falling off the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot and skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce. Serve the ribs hot, generously drizzled with the sauce.
Notes
- For best results, use a heavy Dutch oven for even heat distribution.
- Bone-in ribs add extra flavor, but boneless can be used for easier serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
