4-5 lbs beef short ribs
2 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying
1 medium onion chopped
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 cup red wine
1 cup Guinness beer or any stout beer
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
½ tablespoon dried thyme
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon gravy thickener if you like sauce thicker

Instructions

In large dutch oven or heavy bottom frying pan, heat oil.
Season short ribs with salt and pepper.
Sear short ribs until golden brown on both sides, remove from pan and set aside.
Add onions to pan and cook until tender.
Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes. (do not burn the garlic)
Pour in red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping all the tasty bits from the bottom.
Stir in the beer, beef broth, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and thyme.
Bring to boil, then remove from heat.
Add beef back into pan, cover and place in oven.
Cook at 300º F for 2-3 hours.
Serve with my Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Notes

I thicken the sauce prior to serving. Remove meat from pan, cover and keep warm. Place pan on stove top, and heat until simmering. Whisk in 1 tbsp. of gravy thickener (I use Veloutine brand gravy thickener). Simmer until gravy has thickened.
