Method
1. Season: Season the bone-in short ribs liberally with the dry rub blend.
2. Sear: On a grill over medium-high heat (or in a heavy-bottomed pan), sear the ribs until all sides are deeply browned. Set aside.
3. Caramelize: In the oven, roast the carrots, celery, and onions until they are well caramelized and slightly charred.
4. Sauté Paste: In a large pot or rondeau with olive oil, sauté the tomato paste for 3––5 minutes until it darkens and begins to stick to the pan.
5. Deglaze: Deglaze the pan with the red wine and reduce the liquid by half. Stir in the honey and chicken stock, then bring to a simmer.
6. Combine: Return the seared ribs to the pan. Add the garlic, herbs, and roasted vegetables. Ensure the liquid covers roughly ¾ of the meat.
7. Cover: Place a piece of parchment paper over the ribs, then tightly wrap the pan with foil or a tight-fi tting lid.
8. Braise: Transfer to a 250°F oven and braise for approximately 4 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
9. Finish: Carefully remove the ribs and strain the braising liquid. Skim off excess fat and reduce the liquid if necessary to reach a desired consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
10. Serve: Serve the ribs fi nished with the reduced braising jus.
