Ingredients

  • 4 pounds boneless beef short ribs
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other light colored oil
  • ¼ pound bacon, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef stock or broth low-sodium or no sodium
  • 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 3 large bay leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup red wine not cooking wine

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300-degrees (F) (150 degrees Celsius).
  • Season the short ribs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches (if needed) brown the short ribs well on both sides in the avocado oil over medium/high heat. Remove the meat to a plate after browning.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, while the onion softens and the bacon cooks.
  • Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot while cooking the bacon and onion. If needed, add a splash of beef broth to help loosen the bits.
  • Add the short ribs and the bay leaves into the pot along with any accumulated meat juices leftover on the plate from browning the short ribs.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the beef broth, horseradish, ketchup, and garlic.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the beef stock braising liquid along with the red wine.
  • Cover the pot and place into a preheated oven to braise for 4 hours.
  • Remove the pot from the oven. Taste the sauce, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Remove the bay leaves and serve the short ribs over mashed potatoes, noodles, rice, or polenta. Spoon the juice over the meat, and enjoy!
