- Season the beef short ribs generously with kosher salt and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
- In a large braiser or Dutch oven, heat light olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the short ribs for 8–10 minutes until browned.

- Deglaze with dry red wine, scraping the browned bits, and simmer for 3–5 minutes.
- Return the seared short ribs to the pot and add broth and crushed tomatoes, ensuring the ribs are submerged.
