Boneless beef short ribs (6 pack from Costco)

Dry red wine (cabernet sauvignon-Tormenta Chilean Red wine)

Beef stock

Worcestershire sauce

Bay leaf

White pepper

Crushed red pepper

Onion

Carrots

Tomato paste

Pat beef dry with a paper towel and then salt and pepper the beef. Lightly flour and shake off excess flour. Pour small amount of veg oil in Dutch oven and get the oil hot. Sear the short ribs well on both sides (about six minutes, then flip to other side for six minutes). Remove meat from pan. Add one onion and a handful of chopped carrot and salt a bit. Cook until soft and yummy. Add a squirt or two of tomato paste, white pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and big dash of Worcestershire. Add half a bottle of red wine and about two cups of beef stock. Cook until liquid reduces by about half. Add short ribs back to the liquid (should almost cover the meat) and cook in oven with lid on at 350 for about 2&1/2 hours. You can add carrots, mushrooms and potatoes for the last half hour to round the meal out. Yum!
