Deliciously Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine and Capers

👉Ingredients:

↪️3 lbs bone-in beef short ribs

↪️1 cup pitted prunes

↪️1 cup green olives (pitted)

↪️1/2 cup capers with juice

↪️6 garlic cloves, minced

↪️1/2 cup red wine vinegar

↪️1/2 cup dry white wine

↪️1/2 cup olive oil

↪️1/4 cup brown sugar

↪️2 bay leaves

↪️1 tbsp dried oregano

↪️Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

↪️Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👉Instructions:

✅️1. Prepare the Marinade:

In a large bowl, combine prunes, olives, capers, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, bay leaves, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

✅️2. Marinate the Ribs:

Add the short ribs to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop.

✅️3. Cook the Ribs:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Transfer the short ribs and marinade into a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot. Pour the white wine over the ribs and cover with a lid or foil. Braise in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender.

✅️4. Finish Cooking:

For the last 30 minutes, uncover the ribs to allow the sauce to reduce slightly.

✅️5. Serve:

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with creamy mashed potatoes or rustic bread.
