For any recipe with Short Ribs, it is imperative that you season and brown the meat off first in a heavy based pan, preferably the one you are going to then slow cook them in, to ensure none of the delicious flavour is lost during cooking. Sear off the ribs browning on all signs on a high heat, remove from the pan and use red wine to deglaze the pan. Turn the heat down and saute diced onions, garlic, celery and carrots. Pour in a glug of wine, tomato paste, beef stock to cover the meat, bay leaves and thyme. Put the lid on and cook for two and a half to three hours dependent on if you are cooking it in the oven or on the stove. The oven takes around three hours, and we find produces a richer flavour. Serve with fluffy mashed potato.
