Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 250º F. Have the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Add oil to a large braising pan or Dutch oven (heavy-bottomed pan that can go from stove to oven) and set over a medium heat. Season short ribs with salt. Sear ribs, fatty side down, until well-browned, about 5 minutes. Remove ribs from pan leaving any pan dripping in the pan. Add tomato paste, garlic, shallot, carrots and celery to the pan. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until vegetables are lightly browned. Return short ribs to the pan, seared side up. Add Port, beef broth and Dr. Pepper to cover meat halfway. (you may not use all liquid), and bring to a simmer.
Cover pan with a tight-fitting lid and braise until fork tender and falling off the bone...approx. 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Transfer ribs to cutting board and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Strain braising liquid into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.
