Oven Braised Beef Ribs

As we all know, ribs require a slow and long time to cook. I like this recipe because the ribs are cooked in the oven and don't require hours to cook. They are absolutely delicious!

What You'll Need:

2 pounds beef ribs1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, for dredging
5 Tbsp olive oil
2 medium onion, coarsley chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium celery ribs, chopped
6 medium garlic cloves, minced or pressed
Salt and ground black pepper
2 cups beef or chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1-1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Dry ribs with paper towels and coat with the flour.
3. Heat the oil in an oven proof saute pan (or large Dutch oven) over high heat.
4. Add the ribs and brown on both sides (about 5 min per side).
5. Transfer to a bowl.
6. Reduce heat to medium high, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned (about 8 min).
7. Add garlic and cook stirring constantly until fragrant (1 min).
8. Increase heat to high and stir in the beef or chicken stock and bay leaves.
10. Add tomatoe paste, diced tomatoes and ribs to the pot.
11. Cover and bring to a simmer and place into the oven.
12. Cook about 2 hours or until the ribs fall apart easily with a fork.
13. Check about every 30 minutes and scoop more sauce on top of the ribs.
14. Remove pan from oven. Skim any visible fat off the sauce
15. Place 1-2 ribs in a plate, ladle some braising liquid over each rib. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread.

Enjoy!
