Get ready to indulge in the most epic Italian dish of your life – Short Ribs Pizzaiola. This mouthwatering recipe is a game-changer for anyone who loves a good, hearty meal.

Imagine tender, fall-off-the-bone short ribs smothered in a rich, pizza-style sauce that’s packed with flavor. It’s a match made in heaven, and we’re about to dive into the world of this incredible dish.

First, let’s start with the sauce. We’re talking about a deep, rich flavor that’s similar to your favorite pizza sauce, but with a few tweaks to make it perfect for short ribs. To make it, we’ll start by crushing a can of San Marzano plum tomatoes into a fine purée. Yes, you read that right – crushed by hand. It’s a bit old-school, but trust us, it makes all the difference.

Next, we’ll season our short ribs with a generous amount of kosher salt. Don’t be shy – we want that flavor to penetrate deep into the meat. Then, we’ll heat up some olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat and brown those short ribs until they’re nice and caramelized. This is where the magic happens, folks.

Once our short ribs are browned, we’ll set them aside and add some sliced mushrooms to the pot. We’ll cook them until they’re golden brown, then add in some diced onion and cook until it’s translucent. Now it’s time to add in some dried oregano, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Yes, it’s a lot of flavor, but trust us, it’s necessary.

Next, we’ll add in some garlic and cook for another minute, until it’s nice and fragrant. Then, we’ll pour in some white wine and stir to deglaze the bottom of the pot. This is where all the browned bits come together to create a rich, savory sauce.

Now it’s time to add in our crushed tomatoes and broth. We’ll bring the mixture to a simmer, then add in our browned short ribs. We’ll let it cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

Once our short ribs are cooked, we’ll remove them from the pot and let the sauce reduce until it’s thick and rich. We’ll skim off any excess fat, then add the short ribs back in and simmer until they’re heated through.

And that’s it – our Short Ribs Pizzaiola is ready to be devoured. We’ll serve it up with some fresh basil and a side of crusty bread, and we’re in heaven. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or just a cozy night in with the family.
