Ingredients
- 4 lb beef short ribs 3 inches long each
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil divided
- 3 cups onions chopped
- 3 cups baby carrots chopped
- 3 cups celery chopped
- 1/4 cup garlic minced

Servings: people
Instructions
- Mix flour, salt and pepper in a gallon size freezer bag. Add beef in batches, shaking to evenly coat with mixture. Set aside while you heat oil in a large Dutch oven. Brown beef evenly in batches, about 6 minutes per side, over medium-high heat. (You want a nice dark carmelization on all sides.)
- Remove beef from Dutch oven and set aside. Add remaining ¼ c. olive oil to pot and sauté onion, carrots and celery 3 minutes, stirring. Stir in garlic. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, vermouth, brandy and olives.
- Return beef to the Dutch oven, covering evenly with sauce. Cover and bake at 325’ for 4 to 5 hours, until beef is tender enough to cut with a fork.
Recipe Notes
This dish is even more spectacular reheated the following day.
Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta.
