A hearty and flavorful Short Rib Ragu recipe that is perfect for a comforting meal. Tender beef short ribs are braised in a rich tomato and red wine sauce until they are fall-apart tender, then served over pasta and topped with Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Short Ribs:

  • 2 lbs Beef short ribs (De-boned, cut into 2″ (5cm) cubes)
  • 2 tbsp Light olive oil (or use vegetable or avocado oil)
  • Kosher salt

Sauce:

  • 1 cup White onion (Finely diced)
  • ½ cup Celery (Finely diced)
  • ½ cup Carrot (Finely diced)
  • 4 Garlic cloves (Finely minced)
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 cup Red wine
  • 1 cup Broth (Beef or chicken)
  • 1 ¾ cup Crushed tomatoes (14oz can)
  • Herb Bundle (Rosemary, thyme, parsley stems)
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp Sherry or red wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • 1 lbs Pasta (Tagliatelle or pappardelle)
  • Chopped parsley and grated parmigiano reggiano for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the short ribs: Rub the beef short ribs with kosher salt on all sides.
  2. Sear the short ribs: In a large braiser or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Saute the vegetables: In the same pot, saute onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until softened.
  4. Add flavor: Stir in tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes.
  5. Deglaze: Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
  6. Braise the ribs: Return the short ribs to the pot, add broth, crushed tomatoes, herb bundle, and bay leaves. Simmer covered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  7. Finish the sauce: Remove herb bundle and bay leaves. Shred the meat if needed, adjust seasoning, and simmer until desired consistency.
  8. Serve: Cook pasta according to package instructions. Serve the ragu over the pasta, garnished with Parmigiano Reggiano and parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream towards the end.
  • This ragu freezes well, so make a big batch for later use.
