Directions

Prep 20 minCook 220 min
  1. 1

    Set an oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat to 325°F.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Pat the short ribs dry and season all over with salt and pepper, then add to the pot.

  3. 3

    Brown the ribs in batches until well seared, about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip, then add the chopped onion and the smashed garlic; cook until the second side is browned and the aromatics are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the red wine, bring to a boil, and simmer 1 minute, scraping up browned bits. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves, and orange zest. Return to a boil, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise until the meat is fork-tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning the ribs once halfway through.

  5. 5

    About 30 minutes before the ribs are done, place the potatoes and the garlic for the mash in a large pot, cover with cold water, season with salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain well, return potatoes to the pot, and add the butter, milk, and sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy; season to taste with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Remove the bay leaves and any large strips of orange zest from the braising liquid. Taste and adjust the sauce with salt and pepper as needed.

  8. 8

    Serve a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate, top with a short rib, and spoon the braising sauce over. Serve immediately.
