    2. Season and toss beef in flour.
    3. Sear beef and remove from pot.
    4. Add onion, celery, carrot and garlic to the pot and soften vegetables for 2-3 minutes.
    5. Stir in beef broth, wine, balsamic vinegar and dried herbs, increasing beef stock to 1½ cups (reduced sodium is best).

    7. Remove beef from the pot. Shred beef and add to a deep skillet.
    8. Add the diced tomatoes, a small amount of cooking liquid and vegetables to the skillet.

I had some short ribs in the freezer that I wasn't sure what to do with. I stumbled upon this recipe and decided to give it a try. Super tasty!! I love the idea of serving alongside gnocchi and will give that a try next time!
