Ingredients
-
4 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
-
3 ½ pounds beef short ribs
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped
-
1 bay leaf
-
1 onion, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 cup dry sherry
-
1 quart beef broth
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer crisped bacon with a slotted spoon to a Dutch oven. Keep bacon drippings in the skillet.
-
Generously season short ribs with salt and pepper.
-
Heat bacon drippings in the skillet over high heat. Cook short ribs in hot drippings until browned and caramelized on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven, reserving drippings in the skillet. Add thyme and bay leaf to the Dutch oven. Set aside.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onion in the skillet until soft and golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Whisk flour into onion mixture and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes.
-
Pour sherry into onion mixture; cook until thick and hot, about 2 minutes. Pour onion-sherry mixture into the Dutch oven; pour in beef broth and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cover the Dutch oven with a lid.
-
Transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven and cook until short ribs are fork-tender, about 2 hours. Remove ribs to a serving dish, reserving sauce in the pot.
-
Set Dutch oven over high heat and boil sauce until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon reduced sauce over ribs.
