How to Make Beef Short Ribs In Cinnamon Red Wine Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the beef short ribs generously with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until deeply browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  4. Remove short ribs from the pot and set aside.
  5. Add 1 large chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1-inch piece of grated ginger to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.
  7. Pour in 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine, 1 cup of beef broth, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Return the short ribs to the pot. Ensure the short ribs are mostly submerged in the liquid. If needed, add more broth.
  9. Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5-3 hours, or until the short ribs are incredibly tender.
  10. Remove the short ribs from the pot and set aside. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce.
  11. Bring the sauce to a simmer on the stovetop and cook until slightly reduced and thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
  12. Return the short ribs to the sauce to coat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your favorite sides (e.g., mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables).
