Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. Chop bacon in thin ¼ inch slices. Chop carrots, celery, and onion coarsely (you want this fairly coarse so they don’t disintegrate while cooking)
3. If your short ribs are the whole cut with several ribs cut in between each rib evenly to give you individual cuts of each short rib. Lightly salt and generously pepper each short rib.
4. Heat a dutch oven over medium heat and add bacon and fry until crispy and remove but leave the bacon fat in the dutch oven.
5. If there isn’t enough bacon fat coating the bottom then add a little bit of avocado oil (you only want enough oil to coat the bottom of the dutch oven)
6. Make sure the oil is nice and hot which it should still be and add the cut short ribs to the dutch oven and brown on all sides well but do not over crowd the dutch oven while browning. About 1-2 minutes per side. (you may have to do the browning in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan)
7. Once all the short ribs are browned nicely on all sides place all of them into a bowl or dish, place on the side and cover with foil to keep warm.
8. Add coarsely chopped onions, carrot, celery and tomato paste to the dutch oven and cook for a minute or two stirring often to prevent any burning.
9. Once veggies begin to soften pour in red wine and stock and scrape the bottom of the dutch oven while stirring to deglaze the dutch oven add salt and pepper to taste and continue stirring.
10. Let come to a light simmer and then place the browned short ribs back in the pot spacing them evenly apart, then nestle the rosemary and thyme all around in the dutch oven and pour bacon back into the dutch oven.
11. Place lid on dutch oven and put in oven for 2½- 3 hours. (I did mine for 2½ hours) |
