Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp butter (can sub ghee, dairy free butter or avocado oil)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 sweet onions, sliced thin (can sub yellow onions)
  • ½ cup red wine (can sub broth)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced
  • 4 springs fresh thyme
  • 2 bunches fresh sage
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos
  • 4 lbs bone-in beef short ribs
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 2 cups celery, chopped
  • ¼ cup arrowroot 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325℉.
  • Slice your onions, chop your carrots and celery and dice your garlic and shallot.
  • In your dutch oven over medium heat, melt together the butter and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened, stirring often. 
  • Add the wine, salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring often. You'll know the onions are ready when the wine has evaporated and the onions are lightly golden and soft.
  • Add in the shallots, garlic, thyme, sage, bay leaf (I tie my herbs together using cooking twine) and the short ribs. Then, pour in the broth and coconut aminos.
  • Cover with the lid and roast in the oven for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, remove the dutch oven from the oven and add the carrots and celery. Place back in the oven to cook for 1 hour. When it's done, the short ribs will be tender and falling off the bone.
  • Remove the dutch oven from the oven, then remove the herbs bunch and the short ribs. Discard of the bones and fatty pieces on the short ribs.
  • Sprinkle in the arrowroot while still hot and stir until fully incorporated, then add the short ribs back in.
  • Serve warm with mashed potatoes and enjoy!
