  • 3 - 4 pounds Boneless Beef Short Ribs (Your grocery store butcher can cut into individual ribs and de-bone)
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 medium Yellow Onions chopped
  • 4 large Garlic Cloves minced
  • 2 cup Chianti Wine
  • One 32-ounce can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 3 cup Beef Broth
  • 2 teaspoon fresh Rosemary chopped

  • Pat the short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper.

  • Coat a large, nonstick pan with olive oil.

  • Sauté short rib pieces, over medium-high heat, for about 2 - 3 minutes on each side until browned. When finished, transfer the short ribs to a bowl. Do not remove pan. Lower heat to medium.

  • Add the onions to the pan. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. When onions are translucent, add garlic. Cook for 1 minute.

  • Add Chianti, rosemary, beef broth and tomatoes to the pan one at a time, allowing the liquid to evaporate partially before each addition, about two minutes.

  • Reduce heat to medium low.

  • Return short ribs to the pan, including any juices that might have accumulated in the bowl.

  • Cover and let simmer for 3 hours on low heat to complete the braising process.

  • Remove the short ribs from the pan and boil the liquid until it's reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

  • Return the short ribs to the pan and heat thoroughly.

  • Serve with potatoes or risotto and vegetables.
