For a richer flavor, use bone-in short ribs. Consider adding a splash of red wine vinegar to the sauce for extra tanginess. The braised short ribs are even more flavorful the next day.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
0 mins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
02
Step
15 mins
Generously season short ribs with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat vegetable oil over high heat in a heavy pot. Brown short ribs on all sides until they are dark brown, about 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add onions and continue cooking over high heat until onions go from golden to dark brown, about 8 minutes; this will make a richer, darker sauce. Stir flour into the onion mixture; cook for about 1 minute. Pour in broth; add bay leaf, beets, carrots, and celery. Bring pot to a simmer. Place browned short ribs in pot, evenly distributing them among the vegetables.
