Balsamic Braised Short Ribs

Balsamic Braised Short Ribs, you can't go wrong with short ribs braised in balsamic vinegar cooked until they fall off the bone!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef short ribs (bone-in )
• 1 tablespoon salt (more if needed)
• 2 tablespoons black pepper (more if needed)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large shallots (halved)
• 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2/3 cup red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 5 cups beef broth

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat an oven to 350°F. Generously season the short ribs with salt and pepper.
2. 2Add the olive oil to a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Work in batches if necessary, don't crowd the pan or the ribs will steam instead of sear. After each batch is done, transfer the ribs to a platter.
3. 3Add the shallots to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes. You want them to become soft.
4. 4Turn up the heat to the Dutch oven and add the balsamic vinegar and red wine. Bring to a simmer. Scrape any browned bits from the pan bottom. Stir in the brown sugar and stock. Bring to a boil.
5. 5Return the ribs to the pot, cover the pot, and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is tender, about 2 to 2.5 hours.
6. 6To serve, skim some of the fat off the top. Good served with mashed potatoes, risotto, grits, or pasta with sauce spooned on top.
