Chop the vegetables: cut the potatoes into large pieces, slice the mini bell peppers, and chop the shallots.

Blend the garlic with some leaves from the rosemary and thyme.

In the casserole dish, add all the chopped vegetables.

Season the vegetables with liberal amounts of salt, chicken bouillon, paprika, and black pepper.

Drizzle about 2.5 tablespoons of fried turkey oil over the vegetables.

Mix the seasoned vegetables together thoroughly.

Season the beef short rib with paprika, chicken bouillon, black pepper, and smoked salt.

Mix the seasonings into the beef short rib.

Add the seasoned beef to the casserole dish with the vegetables.

Pour 1/2 cup of white wine over the mixture in the casserole dish.

Cover the dish with parchment paper and then with foil to keep the steam in.

Place the covered casserole dish in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Halfway through the cooking time, turn the beef short rib over.

Check for doneness: the meat should be pulling away from the bone when done.
