Olive Garden Chianti Braised Short Ribs

By nurseliz

Ingredients

• 3 lbs boneless beef short ribs*
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onions, chopped
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Chianti wine
• 1 32-oz can crushed tomatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Pat short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper.

Coat a large, nonstick pan with olive oil. Sear the short rib
pieces over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side or
until brown. Transfer short ribs to a bowl.

Add onions to pan and cook over medium heat for approximately 3
minutes. Once onions are translucent, add garlic and cook for 1
minute; do not brown. Add Chianti, rosemary, beef broth and
tomatoes to the pan one at a time, allowing liquid to partially
evaporate before each addition (about 2 minutes).

Return short ribs to 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 short ribs from pan
and boil the liquid until it is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Return short ribs to pan and heat thoroughly.

Serve with potatoes or risotto and vegetables.
