Instructions
Season the short ribs with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Sear ribs, in batches, on all sides until well browned.
Remove ribs and set aside.
Add a couple of cups of wine into the Dutch oven to deglaze pan, scraping all the brown bits that my have stuck to the pan.
Pour out and reserve.Preheat oven to 350F Wipe out pan and add 5 tablespoons oil and the onions, leeks, carrots, turnips, celery root, celery, and garlic. Brown over medium heat, then add tomato paste and cook 5 minutes more.
Add the herbs and return the short ribs. Also add the deglazing liquid, the rest of the wine, the port, peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon salt.
Add enough water to cover contents by at least 1 inch.Cover pot with aluminum foil and place in oven for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat easily separates from the bone.
Remove meat and cover tightly with the foil. Over high heat, reduce the braising liquid by about 80%, it will be dark and syrupy. Strain.
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. One wine you could try is Raymond R Collection Merlot. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

Raymond R Collection Merlot
The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
