Ingredients
-
3.5 pounds
short ribs
-
2
large onions, sliced roughly
-
5
whole anchovies
-
5
cloves of garlic
-
1 tablespoon
paprica (dolce or picante)
-
1 cup
wine
-
1 cup
broth
-
43 ounces
crushed tomatoes
-
1
sprig rosemary
-
2
sprigs thyme
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 300*F. Meanwhile salt short ribs on all sides (fairly liberally). Heat oil in a large cast iron pot (8+ gallon capacity).
-
Once the oil is almost smoking, place 1/3 of short ribs in the pot and sear for a 3-4 minutes until very golden.
-
Turn over and repeat. Do this for all the sides. Repeat with the remaining 2/3 short ribs. Rest seared short ribs on a plate.
-
Once all of the ribs have been seared, place all of the onions into the emptied pot. Turn the heat down and cook the onions until they soften 5-10 minutes.
-
Add the anchovies and continue cooking until they dissolve. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, add the paprica and cook for another 30-45 seconds.
-
Add tomatoes, turn up the heat and use a wooden spoon to get all of the delicious brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the stock and wine, mix well and bring to a simmer. Add the herbs and nestle the beef gently back into the pot.
-
Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the preheated oven for ~3 hrs. Serve with potatoes and peas sautéed in butter.
