The Kitchn: Braised short ribs cooked multiple ways
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups liquid, such as beer, wine, or broth
2 to 4 sprigs fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme
Equipment
Pastry or basting brush
Deep Dutch oven OR deep saute pan with a lid
Tongs
1. Heat the oven to 325 F. Brush each short rib with vegetable oil, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a deep, wide Dutch oven or saute pan over medium high heat. Add the short ribs in one layer, leaving room between each (work in batches if necessary). Now would be a good moment to turn on your hood vent or fan, if you have one! Sear the short ribs without moving for several minutes on each side, letting them brown deeply. Use tongs to turn and sear all sides. This will take about 15 minutes total.
