Instructions
In a large saucepan, bring the wine to a boil over moderately high heat.
Remove from the heat and add the carrots, leek, garlic, parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
Spread the short ribs in a large shallow baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the marinade over the ribs, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the short ribs from the marinade. Strain the marinade, reserving the liquid and vegetables separately. Discard the herb sprigs and bay leaf.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper and dredge them in the flour. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until almost smoking.
Add half of the ribs and cook over moderately high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the ribs to a large roasting pan. Brown the remaining ribs in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and add them to the roasting pan in a single layer.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
Add the reserved vegetables and cook over high heat until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Spoon the vegetables over the ribs.
Add the marinade to the skillet and bring to a boil.
Pour the marinade over the ribs and add the veal stock. Cover with foil and bake for about 3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and almost falling off the bone.
Transfer the ribs to a large baking dish. Leave the oven on.
Strain the cooking juices into a large saucepan and skim the fat from the surface. Boil over high heat until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
Whisk in the mustard and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the sauce over the ribs.
Return the ribs to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving.
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 Grgich Hills Estate Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 47 dollars per bottle.
