Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs well-marbled short ribs
  • 1 cup full-bodied red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • Fresh thyme and rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear short ribs until browned on all sides. Remove from pot.
  3. Sauté chopped onion in the same pot until translucent, then add minced garlic.
  4. Deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits, and reduce by half.
  5. Return short ribs to pot with fresh herbs, cover, and braise in the oven for about 3 hours until tender.
  6. While the ribs cook, boil peeled potato chunks in salted water until fork-tender (15–20 minutes). Drain, then mash with butter, milk, and minced garlic.
  7. Serve short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes, drizzled with sauce.
