Saute onion, celery, and carrots in hot oil 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; saut 2 minutes.

Return ribs to pan, turning to coat with sauce mixture.
Bake, covered, 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until ribs are very tender.
Transfer ribs to a serving bowl. Skim fat from pan drippings.
Whisk together flour and remaining 1/2 cup broth; stir into pan drippings. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute or until thickened.
Serve ribs with hot cooked egg noodles; top with pan sauce, and sprinkle with parsley.
*Have your butcher cut the ribs into 2- to 2 1/2-inch lengths so they easily fit in the pan.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Beef Short Ribs works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Two Vines Columbia Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 7 dollars per bottle.
