Slow-braised beef short ribs inspired by beef borscht, bursting with rich flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pound beets, peeled and cut into large pieces
  • 1 cup cubed carrots
  • 0.5 cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Season short ribs generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot over high heat. Brown short ribs on all sides until dark brown for about 6 minutes and transfer them to a bowl. Cook onions over high heat until they turn from golden to dark brown, around 8 minutes for a richer sauce. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in broth, add bay leaf, beets, carrots, and celery. Bring pot to a simmer and place browned short ribs in the pot, distributing evenly among the vegetables.
  • Roast in a preheated oven until meat is tender, approximately 2 hours. Serve meat and vegetables on a platter.
  • Quickly bring the sauce to a vigorous simmer over high heat until it reduces by half and thickens slightly, about 5 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt as desired.
  • Top the dish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh chives before serving in bowls.
