This Red Wine Braised Short Ribs with Cauliflower Mash Potatoes recipe is hearty and flavorful and packed with tons of veggies and delicious seasonings like thyme and rosemary.

Ingredients

  • For the short ribs:
  • 3-5 Lbs Bone-In Beef Short Ribs

  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)

  • 3 Tablespoons Avocado Oil

  • 1 Onion (chopped)

  • 3 Carrots (chopped)

  • 2 Celery Stalks (chopped)

  • 1 Shallot (peeled & chopped)

  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste

  • 2 Cups Red Wine

  • 1 Cup Beef or Chicken Broth

  • 1 Bunch Fresh Thyme

  • 3 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary

  • For the cauliflower mash:
  • 1 Head Cauliflower (cut into florets)

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter (dairy or non-dairy)

  • 6 Garlic Cloves (roughly chopped)

  • 2 Shallots (roughly chopped)

  • 1 Tablespoon Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  • Season all sides of short ribs with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then brown short ribs in oil, rotating to evenly brown on all sides. 
  • Remove short ribs from pot then add in onion, carrot, celery, and shallot. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, then stir in tomato paste and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Place short ribs back into pot, along with any juices that have been released from the meat. Add in red wine, beef or chicken broth, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary.
  • Bring everything to a boil, then cover pot with lid, and transfer it into preheated oven. Cook for about 2 hours or until short ribs are super tender.
  • While short ribs cook, make the cauliflower mash by boiling cauliflower florets in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes. Strain cauliflower then set aside to cool slightly before pureeing. 
  • While cauliflower cools, melt butter in the same pot over medium-low and add in garlic, cook for about 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Transfer cooled cauliflower, sautéed garlic, milk, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or high-speed blender. Pulse cauliflower until smooth, then scoop onto plates, and serve with braised short ribs on top.
