How to Make Short Ribs Jambalaya

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut short ribs into 2-inch pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, combine creole seasoning and black pepper.
  4. Generously sprinkle seasoning mixture over short ribs and rub gently to coat.
  5. Heat olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add short ribs in batches, browning for 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove short ribs and set aside on a plate.
  7. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
  8. Return short ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot.
  9. Add crushed tomatoes, 2 cups of beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.
  10. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  11. Cover the pot, place in the preheated oven, and bake for 1 hour, or until meat is tender, stirring halfway through.
  12. Remove from oven and return the pot to the stovetop.
  13. Uncover and stir in the remaining 2 cups of beef stock.
  14. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  15. Stir in rice, green onions, and parsley.
  16. Cover the pot and return to the oven.
  17. Bake for 60 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  18. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
