Ingredients:

  • 4lbs Grow and Behold English Short Ribs
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

Directions:

  • In a large bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the wine, onions, carrots, orange juice, orange peel, garlic and thyme. Add short ribs, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Strain the marinade into a large measuring cup, reserving the vegetables.

Pour in 1 1/4 cups of the marinade. Bring to a simmer, season with salt and pepper, lower heat, cover and cook 3 hours, adding more marinade if needed.
  • Skim excess fat from surface, season to taste, stir in the tomato pesto and serve from the casserole.
