Welcome and introduce the dish: beef short ribs.

Mention the importance of patience in cooking beef short ribs, which can take 1 to 3 hours to cook properly.

Season the beef short ribs with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Kinders buttery steakhouse seasoning.

Set the seasoned ribs aside and prepare the vegetables.

Rough chop 1 white onion, 1 celery stalk, and 2 carrots after peeling them.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the beef short ribs until they have a nice crust, then remove them from the pot.

Add a little butter to the pot to help deglaze and then add the chopped vegetables, allowing them to sweat and absorb the flavors.

After the vegetables have softened, add in 1/2 can of tomato paste and stir, letting it cook down.

Pour in 2 cups of red wine and 4 cups of beef broth, stirring well.

Add thyme and rosemary to the pot, then return the beef short ribs to the pot and season again.

Cover the pot and simmer for at least 2 hours until the beef is tender.

While the beef cooks, prepare Yukon Gold mashed potatoes by cutting them into even chunks and boiling them for 15 minutes until tender.

Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them with milk, butter, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

After 2 hours, check the beef short ribs to see if they are tender and falling off the bone.

To make a sauce, pour some of the braising liquid into a skillet, let it simmer, then add a couple tablespoons of butter and stir until emulsified.

Plate the mashed potatoes, add the beef short ribs on top, and pour the sauce over them. Garnish with parsley.
