Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Sprinkle the short ribs liberally with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat, and then pour in grapeseed oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the ribs on all sides until well browned, and then remove from the pot.

Add the celery, carrots and onions into the pot and cook until browned, and then stir in the tomato paste and cook for 15 minutes. Pour in the red wine to deglaze , and cook until the liquid is reduced and thick. Return the ribs to the pot and cover by two-thirds with veal stock.
