Awesome Short Ribs

1-1/2 Lbs. short ribs
salt
pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp. Penzey's Tuscan (salt free Italian) seasoning
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 

Heat large oven proof skillet on top of stove.  Add olive oil.  Season short ribs with salt and pepper and add to skillet - brown on all sides.  Remove short ribs to a plate.

Add onion and garlic to skillet and brown, stirring frequently so that it doesn't burn.  Stir in flour, then add wine, chicken broth and tomatoes, and mix together.  Add short ribs and bring to a simmer.

Turn off stovetop and cover skillet with ovenproof lid; place in oven.  Bake for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is fork tender.  If your short ribs are not thoroughly submerged in the liquid, make sure to turn them about every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes and spoon liquid over them.

These are wonderful, with a very rich flavor.  Serve with a green salad, and rice, mashed potatoes or pasta.

While the potatoes are cooking, clean and trim the green beans and break into bite sized pieces, about 1" long.  Cut baby carrots into quarters lengthwise.  Put in a large sauce pan along with about 1/4 cup water.  Cook for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  Drain any remaining water and transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
