Description

This Ultimate Boneless Beef Ribs Recipe delivers fall-apart tender meat packed with rich flavor. By combining perfect searing, aromatic vegetables, and low, slow braising, you’ll create restaurant-quality beef ribs right at home.

Ingredients

Scale

4 pounds boneless beef ribs (or chuck roast cut into large pieces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine (or extra broth for non-alcoholic version)
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat ribs dry and season with spice blend (paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, thyme). Let rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear ribs in batches 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits. Reduce for 2–3 minutes, then add beef broth and return ribs to pot, nearly submerged.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise 2¼–2¾ hours until fork-tender, turning ribs halfway through.
Remove from oven, rest 10–15 minutes, and skim excess fat from surface before serving.

Notes

For lighter version, trim visible fat before cooking and use low-sodium broth. Skip the wine and use beef broth plus a splash of apple cider vinegar for acidity. Store leftovers in braising liquid for best moisture and flavor retention.
