My wine braised short ribs are the perfect comfort dish. Taking an inexpensive cut of meat and creating a rich sauce to make it elegant.
Begin by browning the short ribs in a skillet on medium high heat. Brown on all sides. Remove from pan when complete.
In the same pan, add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add in the mirepoix. Cook for a couple of minutes to get some browning. Add in the seasoning and cook for another minute. Now add in the whole bottle of wine followed by enough wine to mostly cover the ribs. Add in the bay leaves.
Finish by adding in the short ribs and move to a 350 degree oven and cook until tender. This will take at least 3 hours. When fall apart tender, take the short ribs out and set aside. Now, drain the liquid and at to a sauce pan. Cook for 5 minutes or so reducing by half.
To serve, place the short rib over mashed potatoes and top with the reduced sauce.
