Step 1- In a large dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp. of butter, then add your onion, garlic, and thyme.
Step 2- Coat the short ribs with the salt and pepper and allow to come to room temp.
Step 3- Once the onion mixture has softened, you can remove them and set aside to add back in.
Step 4- Heat the other tablespoon of butter, then add your short ribs fat side down.
Step 5- Allow the short rib to get a golden brown coating on all sides, then add back in the onion mixture.
Step 6- As the pan gets a golden brown surface on the bottom, add the red wine to deglaze the surface, then allow the wine to reduce so that you have a nice brown sauce.
Step 7- Addd in your chicken broth, and then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 6 hours so that the meat falls off the bone. Check periodically it may cook faster depending on your oven, but remember low and slow never hurt anybody.
