Oven-Baked Beef Short Ribs

Every now and then, we have a recipe like this Oven-Baked Beef Short Ribs in our back pocket, for those busy days. I have cooked this sumptuous beef dish so many times, I can do it with my eyes closed. It’s the kind of entrée you can cook, shove  in the oven, and then walk away to do other stuff, till the timer rings to tell you it’s ready.

Beef short ribs are cuts of beef that when cooked properly, nearly fall off the bone because they become so tender. These cuts are also known as plate short ribs, a cut from the lower part of the cow’s rib cage, behind the brisket. The meat in the beef short ribs are thick and have enough marbling – so it’s a fairly good cut for slow simmer stews like this one. There are many ways I have cooked beef short ribs, and this is one of my favorite ones because I don’t have to be chained to the stove and oven all day.

You can also mix up these short ribs with beef stew cuts like chuck steak, which are good for braising. Beef chuck comes from the parts of the neck, shoulder blade, and upper arm. Nowadays, with supply issues and high prices, it’s a good idea to mix up the meat cuts in an oven-baked stew like this one, to extend the dish, especially if more people are coming to dinner.

To prepare the beef: Marinate the cuts a few minutes before cooking. Then, be sure to preheat the oven. Brown the beef short ribs to lock in the flavor. Arrange the beef short ribs in a deep roasting pan, pour the liquids. Cover with foil to keep the moisture in, and tenderize the beef. When the timer rings, you know dinner is ready and it was effortless.
