Preparation
-
Step 1
Preheat oven 325℉.
-
Step 2
Season Short Ribs liberally with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, add olive oil over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Sear ribs 3 minutes per side or until a deep golden brown. Remove ribs from the Dutch oven and set aside.
-
Step 3
In the Dutch oven, add onions and a tsp. of salt. Reduce heat to MEDIUM heat and cook until onions become translucent. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes until paste is thoroughly incorporated. Add beef base and cook for 1 minute more. Add carrots, onions, garlic and celery. Arrange ribs over vegetables, and add stock, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
-
Step 4
Cover Dutch oven with lid and place in the oven for 2- 2 ½ hours or until ribs are fork tender.
-
Step 5
To make the brandy sauce, bring 1 cup of braising liquid to a simmer in a shallow pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Once liquid begins to simmer, add in brandy. Cook 1 minute to allow alcohol to burn off, being careful of flare ups from gas cooktops. Add heavy cream and peppercorns. Whisk to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce reduces by ⅓, whisking frequently. Season with salt to taste.

Step 6
Drizzle brandy sauce over Short Ribs and serve immediately.
