Ingredients: · 8 pieces bone-in short ribs (4 to 5 lbs. total) · 3 heads garlic, halved crosswise, one clove reserved · 1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced · 4 carrots, cut into 2" pieces · 4 stalks celery, cut into 2" pieces, plus leaves for garnish · 2 dried bay leaves · 1- 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes · 1 tsp lemon zest · 1/4 cup tomato paste · 2 cup beef broth · 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil · 1 tbsp lemon juice · 1 cup red wine · Kosher salt · Freshly ground black pepper |
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Season short ribs all over with salt and pepper. Add short ribs to pot, in batches if necessary, and cook until deeply browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer short ribs to a plate.
2. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot. Add garlic, cut side down, and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and bay leaves and cook, stirring, until beginning to darken on the edges of the pot, about 2 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes and their juices, breaking up the tomatoes with your hands as you add them, and stir to combine. Add the broth and wine and bring to a boil. Nestle short ribs among the vegetables. Cover, and transfer pot to the oven. Bake, stirring and flipping short ribs as necessary halfway through, until meat is very tender, 3 to 3½ hours. Short ribs can be made up to 3 days ahead. Reheat over medium heat.
4. Just before serving, chop remaining garlic clove and celery leaves together and place in a small bowl. Add lemon juice and zest, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Serve short ribs and vegetables topped with celery mixture.
