Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Sear the beef short ribs in a large, oven-safe pot with olive oil over high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté chopped white onion, celery, and carrots in the same pot. Season with salt and pepper; cook for 6-8 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute.
Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits. Pour in beef stock and pomegranate juice, then return seared ribs to the pot. Sprinkle with pomegranate arils.
Braise with lid on in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours or until tender and fall-off-the-bone delicious.
Serve the short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes or buttery polenta, drenching everything in the sauce. Garnish with additional pomegranate arils if desired.
