Instructions
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cup; level with a knife.
Place flour in a shallow dish.
Sprinkle beef evenly on all sides with salt and pepper; dredge in flour.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add oil to pan, and swirl to coat.
Add beef to pan; saut for 8 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.
Add diced onion, diced celery, diced carrot, and chopped leek to pan; saut 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic; saut 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Place peppercorns, juniper berries, 3 thyme sprigs, and bay leaves on a double layer of cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth together; tie securely.
Place herb and spice bundle in pan; return beef to pan. Dissolve demi-glace in 3/4 cup hot water, stirring well.
Add demi-glace mixture and wine to pan; bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 350 for 2 1/2 hours or until beef is fork tender.
Remove beef from pan; strain cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Discard solids.
Serve cooking liquid with beef.
Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
Wine note: With the richness of short ribs, you need to pull out a cabernet as an accompaniment. (Well-marbled beef loves to tame this grape's tannins.) Slingshot 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is a Napa bottle that, at $23, won't break the bank. But it offers beautiful nuances of cedar, spice (juniper's a big player), and aromatic dried cherries, with bright acidity. Sara Schneider
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Beef Short Ribs. 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 Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot
A medium purple color. Flavors of satsuma plum, dark chocolate covered raspberries, and allspice aromas primarily. On the palate, this is a classic Merlot with good concentration. It is savory and medium bodied with velvety tannins. Homemade cherry pie tart and sandal wood aromas are perceived easily when tasting.
