Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 5 Roma tomatoes, cut into eighths
  • 1 cup red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season the ribs with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or ovenproof stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add the ribs and brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine and mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the ribs to the pan. Add the beef broth, cover the pan and place in the oven for 2 1/2 hours until the meat is fork-tender and falls easily from the bone.

Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid. Using a large spoon, remove any excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. Using a ladle, transfer the cooking liquid in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into small pieces. Stir the shredded meat into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and place in a large serving bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the sauce and add to the pasta. Pour 1 cup of the sauce over the pasta. Toss well and thin out the pasta with more sauce, if needed. Sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.

    Great Cool Weather Dish

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This reminds me of a beef and noodle dish my mother always made. My family really enjoyed this dish. It was a perfect thing... to have going on Halloween night. It's not difficult, but a little time consuming........some prep and cook time, but I liked that for the most part is was a one dish meal. I didn't love cleaning the meat off the fatty ribs or cleaning my Le Creuset after it cooked in the oven! :) I ran the juices/sauce through the processor and added the meat, let it simmer and just had to cook the noodles when we were ready. The sauce was divine and it made the house smell wonderful. I will definitely be making this again! Read more

    Well worth the wait...

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Very easy to make. the hardest part is waiting 2.5 hours for it to cook. The flavor was awsome...for those who said theirs... was blah the brand of wine and/or the stock could have made a big difference. This is the 4th time i've made it. Great results everytime. I also waited for the sauce to cool down before putting in food processor. Read more

    GREAT SUNDAY DINNER

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    For a cost of about $2.00 dollars a person, you can't beat the richness of this beefy delight. The main ingredient is... PATIENCE, if you give it time you will be rewarded. We used egg noddles instead of penne pasta, and added sweet italian peppers to the onions and garlic combination. The aroma from the cooking brought our neighbors over to investigate, and share in the food. My husband is asking for injections of it. Thank you Giada!!!!Read more

    Awesome!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this recipe today and my husband and family loved it!! I altered the recipe by only adding 2 tbs of mustard instead... of 3 and added 2 tbs of tomatoe paste to thicken the sauce. I also added sliced baby bella mushrooms, which made it even more yummy! I cooked the mushrooms with the onions and garlic. Great Recipe and will make it again and again!!!Read more

    Wonderful and Easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this and it was great. Instead of the 5 romas, I used tomatoe paste and can of diced tomatoes. It turned out great. ... I don't like the taste of alcohol so I used more beef broth in place of the cup of wine. Will make again. Family loved it. Served with green salad and french bread... Great Sunday night dinner.
