No oven is needed for this beef short rib recipe. Instead, your stovetop does double duty, first in searing flour-dredged ribs, then in simmering them with vegetables and herbs in a savory mixture of wine and stock. This dish is great served over mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

4 pounds beef short ribs
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried thyme
3 large bay leaves
1 cup red wine
8 cups beef stock
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Season ribs with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear ribs in hot oil in small batches, adding oil as needed, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
Add onions to the pot and sauté for 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots; sauté for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; add ribs and simmer until meat pulls away easily from the bone and sauce has thickened, about 2 hours.
Discard bay leaves. Stir in parsley and serve.
