Enjoy these unbelievably tender Black Garlic Braised Short Ribs. The deep, umami flavor from the black garlic creates a rich sauce perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef short ribs, bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 head black garlic, cloves separated and smashed
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
  3. Add the onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and smashed black garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine reduce by half.
  6. Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste. Add the bay leaf and thyme.
  7. Return the short ribs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  8. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the Dutch oven.
  9. Transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Braise for 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  10. Remove the ribs and skim any excess fat from the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  11. Serve the short ribs with the rich braising liquid.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests tasting the sauce often; feel free to add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra depth.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
  • Braise these ribs low and slow for the best texture.
