In the same oven-safe pot, add more oil if needed. Add the seasoned short ribs and brown all sides. Remove the beef to a plate and deglaze the pot, if you’re using wine, add the wine, scrape the bites that have might stick to the pan and bring the wine to a boil. If you’re not using wine, add some of the beef broth.
