Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs boneless beef ribs or chuck roast cut into large pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine or extra broth
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bring beef ribs to room temperature and pat dry thoroughly. Mix seasoning blend and rub generously onto ribs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear ribs 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté diced onions 4–5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze pot with red wine, scraping up browned bits. Add beef broth and return seared ribs to pot, ensuring they’re two-thirds submerged.
  5. Cover tightly and braise in oven for 2½–3 hours until meat is fork-tender and reaches 195°F.
  6. Rest 10 minutes before serving. Spoon sauce over meat and serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Notes

Store leftovers submerged in braising liquid for up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat gently with a splash of broth. Substitute chuck roast if boneless ribs are unavailable.
