Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
-
Prepare Skillet: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and let it heat up.
-
Brown Ribs: Add the short ribs of beef to the skillet and brown them on all sides, which should take about 7 minutes. Season the ribs with salt and pepper while they cook.
-
Transfer to Roasting Pan: Once the ribs are nicely browned, transfer them to a roasting pan, arranging them in a single layer.
-
Saute Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion, leeks, and minced garlic. Saute them until they begin to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
-
Deglaze Skillet: Pour in the red wine and beef broth, stirring well to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
-
Add Flavorings: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and chili powder, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Bring to Boil: Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then remove the skillet from the heat.
-
Pour Over Ribs: Carefully pour the sauce mixture over the short ribs in the roasting pan, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Bake Covered: Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours or until the ribs are incredibly tender, basting them with the sauce every 30 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
Final Bake: After 2 hours, remove the foil and bake the ribs uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and the ribs to develop a beautiful caramelized exterior.
-
Skim Off Grease: Once done, carefully remove the pan from the oven and skim off any excess grease from the sauce.
-
Serve: Serve the ribs hot, topped with extra sauce if desired, and accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
These melt-in-your-mouth ribs are sure to become a family favorite, with their irresistible combination of tender meat and savory sauce. Enjoy the hearty flavors and comforting warmth of this delicious dish, perfect for any occasion!
