Step 1: Preheat and Prep

• Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F, ensuring a slow cook for tender meat.
• Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure your ingredients for a smooth cooking process.

Step 2: Sear the Short Ribs Recipe

1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sear Ribs: Place the ribs in the hot skillet and brown each side for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

Step 3: Build the Flavor Base

1. Cook Onions and Garlic: Using the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until soft, then add the minced garlic for an additional minute.
2. Add Broth or Wine: Pour in the beef broth or wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. This step adds flavor to the braising liquid and the final dish.
3. Add Herbs and Seasonings: Place the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs into the pan along with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Bake the Ribs

1. Arrange Ribs in a Baking Dish: Place the seared ribs in a baking dish, ensuring they’re in a single layer.
2. Pour Sauce Over Ribs: Pour the braising liquid over the ribs, making sure they are partially submerged.
3. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with foil or a lid and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, checking periodically. The ribs should be tender and falling off the bone.
