Ever dream of feeling like a super fancy cook, with music playing in the back ground, sipping your wine and cooking up a meal that is so delicious and fancy you should be on a TV show? Well grab your apron, your wine and turn on that playlist because this main dish is just that but EASY. So easy, I promise. 

For me this is fun to cook just for those reasons. I enjoy cooking something that looks hard but in reality is so easy. Also, meals that cook low and slow in the oven allow for kitchen clean up before dinner and that is always a win in my book.

Bonus - this is a Keto meal when served with Keto sides like mashed Cauliflower and a salad.

This recipe is inspired by a Paleo Short Ribs from My Natural Family. ​

​
Rosemary & Garlic Beef Short Ribs - KETO

Time: about 30 min before the oven, 2 - 2 1/2 hours in the oven : total 3 hours
oven time equal FREE time so 2-2 1/2 hours to do other things!

Serves: 6 - 8 people 

This recipe  is best when cooked in a large cast iron skillet. If you do not have one you can use a large pan for your first steps then transfer all ingredients (meat and sauce from pan) to an oven safe pan for the remaining slow and low oven cooking.

Ingredients:

• 2 ish pounds of Beef Short Ribs, boneless
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• onion powder 2 -3 teaspoons
• 3 garlic cloves sliced or minced (pressed)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3/4 cup red wine
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• rosemary sprigs 

Instructions:

1. preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. I like to prep all my ingredients because then I am not scrambling, so at this point go ahead and get out all ingredients on list and all your  measuring items as well as your garlic press. If you want to be even more efficient, go ahead and press or slice your garlic.
3. unpackage your short ribs, place on a platter, salt and pepper both sides of ribs
4. Heat olive oil over medium/medium high heat in your cast iron pan.
5. when oil is hot place ribs in the pan, cooking for a few minutes (until deep golden ish brown) then turn and do the same to the other side. You are searing the meat!
6. at some point during a searing side rinse off your platter - you will need it again in a minute
7. after both sides of ribs are seared place the meat on the platter
8. turn down the heat just a tad...you don't want to burn your garlic but you do need the pan hot enough to simmer the liquids coming up
9. add your tomato paste and onion powder and stir around a minute
10. add your garlic and cook another few minutes
11. add the red wine and let it reduce by about half . Not sure what that means? it will simmer for a while and you will see that the amount in the pan decreases (i.e. reduces). 
12. add the beef broth, bring this to a simmer - you can adjust the amount of  beef broth here depending on how much sauce you want to end up with, I like sauces and gravy so I add a little more. Be mindful though of your pan size, when you add the meat back in the liquid will rise.
13. Put the beef ribs back in the skillet. Toss the rosemary sprigs on top and cover. I just use foil to cover my skillet because I do not have a lid with mine.
14. place in the preheated oven for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. You can place the entire skillet in the oven if you are using a cast iron skillet or an oven safe skillet. If using cast iron be sure to remove the handle cover if you  have one on your handle.

Serve with any sides you like. To keep it Keto I do mashed cauliflower and a salad or keto friendly veggie. It would be wonderful with mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes (not keto though).

Your house will smell delicious while this is cooking and you can drink some wine and dance in your kitchen while its cooking. It makes a fancy"ish" meal for a stay at home date night or a special family meal. We have this often on Fridays  because its a family stay at home night for us and I can start cooking earlier.

I love this main dish! I hope you do too!

Please let me know if your try it! I would love to hear how it went for you. Add your music and dancing notes in your comments.
