Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees
Place an oven-safe pot on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and allow it to heat up. Place the ribs in the pot, 2 or 3 at a time, and sear on all 4 sides. Work in batches and set the seared ones aside on a plate until done.
With all the ribs seared and set aside, add 1/2 yellow onion chopped to the pot over the same heat, stir in 1 tsp garlic, and cook until fragrant (2 minutes).
Add 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup dry red wine, and 2 tbsp tomato paste and whisk to combine.
Add all the seasonings: 1 tsp fresh thyme, 1 tsp fresh rosemary, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper.
Carefully place the seared ribs back into the pot with the cooking broth. Top with 2 chopped carrots, 2 chopped celery ribs, and 2 bay leaves. Stir to combine.
Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the oven for 3 hours.
To serve, you can strain the sauce and remove the vegetables, making a smooth sauce, or you can serve it with the cooked veggies.
