- 3 to 4 pounds English cut beef short ribs (at least 1 per person)
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 c)
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 c)
- 4 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 1/2 c)
- 1 small rutabaga, diced (about 1/2 - 3/4 c)
Note - The rutabaga or other root vegetables are optional and will add an earthier flavor to the dish. It will seem sweeter without any root vegetables. Both ways are good.
- 3 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 c water and/or beef stock
