Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat short ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high and sear all sides of ribs until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 2

Lower heat to medium. Sauté onion, carrots, and minced garlic until soft. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add red wine, scraping fond from the pan. Simmer 3 minutes, then add broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and return short ribs to the pot. Liquid should nearly cover ribs.

Step 4

Cover and transfer to oven. Braise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning once, until ribs are fork tender.

Step 5

(If not purchased) Slow-roast peeled garlic cloves covered in olive oil at 250°F (120°C) for 2 hours until golden and tender.

Step 6

Boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain, then mash with garlic confit cloves, garlic oil, and Greek yogurt until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Remove herbs from braising pot. Serve short ribs atop a bed of garlic confit mashed potatoes, spoon sauce and carrots over, and garnish with parsley.
