Fool-Proof Boof Borginyown (essentially Julia's with short cuts)

Course Main Dishes

Ingredients in this Recipe

1 tablespoon olive oil, if necessary
1 teaspoon salt
12 English cut short ribs (don't be shy point out the thick ones to the butcher and tell him you want those) or 5 lbs. boneless short rib meat or you can also use flanken cut if that's what's available no worries
2 bottles of red wine you would like to drink
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 thick slices of pancetta, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch (IMHO, you can skip the bacon boiling business and use pancetta)
3 carrots, cut in two inch pieces
3 cloves of garlic, smashed
3 cups beef stock
3 long sprigs of rosemary
3 medium onions, cut in half through the stem and root and then each half cut into slices in the same direction
3 parsnips, cut in two inch pieces
3 tablespoons Wondra flour
5 sprigs thyme
handful of Italian parsley, minced
