- 3-4 lbs well-marbled beef short ribs
- 2 large yellow onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh herbs (thyme and parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

- Deglaze by pouring in beef broth, scraping up brown bits from the pot.
- Return short ribs to the pot, adding enough broth to cover halfway. Bring to a simmer before covering tightly with a lid.
