Red Wine Braised Short Ribs

Ingredients
5 pounds of beef short ribs, cleaned
1 bottle of red wine
Peppercorns, whole
Salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 stalks of celery, diced
2 onions, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 sprigs of thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 cup port wine
6 cups beef stock
Vegetable Oil

Directions
Soak the short ribs in red wine overnight.  Drain and reserve wine. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the short ribs in flour.

Lightly coat the bottom of a large pot with vegetable oil. Sear the short ribs and remove. Add all the vegetables and herbs to the pan. Sweat for 3 minutes, leaving the vegetables crunchy.

Add the port and reduce. Add the reserved red wine and reduce. Add the beef stock and reduce by 1/3.

Add liquid over the short ribs and braise covered at 350 degrees for 5 hours. When done, cool in the liquid before cutting.
