📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat broiler to high with the rack set about 5 inches from the top. Arrange ribs in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt. Broil, turning once, until deeply browned and crisped, 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Set aside. Switch oven to 300°F.
2
Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion halves, cut sides down, and garlic. Cook, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat. Increase heat to high, and add wine, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until the steam coming off the pot no longer smells super-boozy and the wine has reduced slightly, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes.
3
Add short ribs (discard any fat on the sheet pan), and cover with enough water to submerge the ribs (5 to 6 cups). Bring to a boil, then transfer to the oven. Cook until beef is super-tender, ⏱️ 2 hours to ⏱️ 2 hours ⏱️ 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then chill overnight. (This overnight rest is essential to deepening the flavor and improving the texture of the meat.)
4
An hour or two before serving, scrape the congealed fat off the top and discard. Cook over medium-low heat just until the liquid is no longer congealed. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the meat and transfer to a large bowl or sheet pan. Discard thyme and onion. Simmer braising liquid over medium-high heat until thickened and reduced slightly, 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes. Once cool enough to touch, use your hands to pull meat off bones; discard bones and any cartilage. (Be careful not to shred the meat too much—you want it to be in nice, juicy chunks.)
5
Remove pot from heat. Add meat and gently stir to combine. Serve warm.
