Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the beef ribs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub this mixture all over the ribs.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Cover the skillet tightly with foil or a lid. Transfer to the oven and bake for 2 hours, until ribs are tender and meat is pulling away from the bone.
While ribs are baking, mix together butter, garlic, rosemary, and parsley in a small bowl to form a compound butter.
Remove ribs from oven. Uncover and spread the garlic herb butter over the ribs. Return to oven, uncovered, for 10 more minutes to melt and infuse the butter.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over for extra flavor.
