Step-by-Step Instructions for Short Rib Ragu
- Season the beef short ribs generously with kosher salt. Heat light olive oil in a heavy braiser or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear ribs for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Lower heat to medium and add diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until it deepens in color.
- Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.
- Return short ribs to the pot with broth and crushed tomatoes. Add herb bundle and bay leaves, then stir to combine and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours.
- Remove bay leaves and herb bundle, then shred short ribs with forks in the pot. Mix the meat into the sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with kosher salt, pepper, and vinegar. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Prepare pasta according to package instructions. Serve Short Rib Ragù over pasta, garnished with parsley and Parmigiano Reggiano.
