Print Recipe

A rich and hearty dish combining tender short ribs with creamy Parmesan mashed potatoes, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper and brown them in batches. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add tomatoes, beef broth, thyme, and rosemary, then return the short ribs to the pot.
  5. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
  6. While the ribs are cooking, boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
  7. Add Parmesan, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the short ribs are cooked, shred the meat and mix it back into the sauce. Serve over the Parmesan mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For added richness, you can stir in extra butter into the mashed potatoes.
  • This dish can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator; it tastes even better the next day!
