Melt-In-Your-Mouth Ribs
Posted on March 22, 2001

Comfort food that's big on flavor and rich in taste. Short ribs are an all-time favorite reminder of "home".

Estimated Times:
Est. preparation time: 20 mins
Est. cooking time: 2 hrs, 35 mins

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds beef short ribs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 leeks, thinly sliced
4 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1 (28-oz.) can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme
1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary
1 tablespoon chili powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350?F. Heat oil in a large skillet (not cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Add ribs and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer ribs to a roasting pan. To the skillet, add onion, leeks and garlic; saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine and broth, stirring to remove any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add tomatoes, thyme, rosemary and chili powder. Bring sauce to a boil, remove from heat and pour over ribs. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours or until ribs are very tender, basting every 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes. Remove pan from oven and skim off grease. Serve ribs topped with extra sauce.
