Step-by-Step Instructions for Short Rib Ragu
- Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven, sear the ribs for 4-5 minutes on each side, then set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté chopped onion, celery, and carrot for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in tomato paste, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the paste.
- Add red wine, deglazing the pot by scraping browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Return short ribs, add broth, crushed tomatoes, herb bundle, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
- Cover the pot slightly ajar and let simmer for about 2.5 hours.
- Remove herb bundle and bay leaves. Shred the meat and return it to the sauce.
- Stir in vinegar and adjust seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 15-30 minutes if sauce is too thin.
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and serve with ragù.
- Garnish with parsley and Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve hot.
