Ingredients:  
3 ½ pounds boneless short ribs, trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2T Vegetable oil
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1T Tomato paste
6 Medium garlic cloves, peeled
1C Red wine
3C Beef broth

4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
¼C Cold water
2 T Cornstarch

Directions:
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat until smoking. Add half of beef and cook, without moving, until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn beef and continue to cook on second side until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes longer, reducing heat if fat begins to smoke. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and meat.

2. Reduce heat to medium, add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (If onions begin to darken too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to pan.)

3. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it browns on sides and bottom of pan, about 2 minutes.

4. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Increase heat to medium-high, add wine and simmer, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits, until reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes.

5. Add broth, carrots, thyme, and bay leaf.

6. Add beef and any accumulated juices to pot; cover and bring to simmer. Transfer pot to oven and cook, using tongs to turn meat twice during cooking, until fork slips easily in and out of meat, 3 to 3½ hours.

7. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter and tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through fine-mesh strainer into bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Allow liquid to settle about 5 minutes.

8. Return cooking liquid to Dutch oven and cook over medium heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture; season with salt and pepper. Pour gravy over meat and serve.
