Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup red apple vinegar
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound pasta (such as pappardelle or tagliatelle)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper and brown them on all sides for about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Deglaze with red apple vinegar by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot; simmer until reduced by half (5-10 minutes).
- Add crushed tomatoes and beef broth; return short ribs to the pot along with bay leaf and thyme. Simmer gently.
- Cover and braise in the oven for about 2 hours until meat is tender.
- Remove from oven, shred the meat off bones, discard bones, and return shredded meat to the sauce.
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- Combine cooked pasta with ragu until well coated.
- Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
