Ingredients
  

For the Braised Short Ribs
  • 2 pounds Beef Short Ribs Look for well-marbled pieces for rich flavor and tender texture.
  • 1 cup Red Wine Choose a bold variety like Cabernet Sauvignon.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic infuses aromatic flavor.
  • 1 cup Onions Chopped onions for braising.
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Herbs (thyme or rosemary) Adds elegance and brightness.
For the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet) Starchy varieties yield best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Can substitute with cream for a decadent mash.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Enhances flavor and richness.
  • 4 cloves Garlic To elevate flavor during boiling.

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef short ribs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Remove the ribs and reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add a splash of red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce.
  4. Return seared short ribs to the pot, add fresh herbs, and enough beef broth to cover halfway. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
  5. While the ribs are braising, bring salted water to a boil and cook peeled, chopped potatoes and garlic for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot.
  6. Add warm milk and butter to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Plate garlic mashed potatoes, top with short ribs, and drizzle with braising sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs.
