Costolettine di manzo brasate, or braised beef short ribs, is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a cozy evening meal. The dish is comprised of beef short ribs, which are seared and then braised in a flavorful red wine sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. The addition of dried porcini mushrooms and fresh herbs like rosemary make for a complex and aromatic dish that will fill your home with the comforting smells of home-cooked food. Serve the costolettine di manzo brasate hot and steaming, with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, buttery polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the remaining sauce. It's a meal that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.
2.In a large pot, bring the red wine, chicken stock, and dried mushrooms to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
3.Season the beef ribs generously with salt and black pepper. In a separate Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef ribs on all sides until well seared. Remove the ribs from the pot and set aside.
4.In the same pot, add the chopped onions, minced bacon or pancetta, and grated carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
5.Add the rosemary, bay leaves, cloves, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes and their liquid and stir again.
6.Add the seared beef ribs back to the pot and pour the red wine and chicken stock mixture over the top. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven.
7.Bake for 3 to 4 hours, or until the beef ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone.
8.Serve the costolettine di manzo brasate hot with the remaining sauce and your favorite sides.
