All you need to make these juicy, succulent beef short ribs is short ribs, olive oil, fresh garlic, onion, carrots, tomato paste, a bottle of red wine, beef broth, bay leaves and dried thyme.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 bottle red wine (cabernet or merlot work well)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Here's how to make it:
- Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven. Brown the ribs on all sides, working in batches. Remove to a plate.
- Add the carrots, onion and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook about 30 seconds more.
- Pour in the wine and beef stock. Add the bay leaves and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the ribs back into the wine liquid, making sure they are completely covered. Bake in a preheated 325-degree F oven for about 3 hours. When ribs are tender, remove and place on a serving platter.
- Strain the liquid to remove any solids into a saucepot. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over the ribs and serve.

**Can anyone tell me if it must be covered in the oven while it cooks?**
I'm figuring yes, so I've got it covered, but wanted to double check. Since I'm doing half the recipe I'm going to check it in 2 hours (but figuring I'll want to go 3).
