Preheat oven to 350° F.
Chop carrot, celery and onion.
Trim fat from ribs. Combine 1/2 cup flour and pepper. Roll short ribs in flour to coat.
Heat 1-1/2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, and brown ribs on all sides.
Place ribs in a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 45 minutes. Carefully pour off extra fat.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large pot and sauté chopped vegetables until soft.
Add roasted short ribs and beef broth. Cover and simmer 2 hours or until ribs are tender.
To make gravy, brown 2 tablespoons flour in 1 tablespoon oil. Add 1 cup of the meat liquid and stir over medium heat until thickened. Serve 2 tablespoons of gravy with each serving of short ribs.

Look for reduced sodium broth containing 500 milligrams sodium or less per 1 cup serving. Avoid low sodium broths and bouillons containing potassium chloride—it’s very high in potassium.
Braised means to cook covered in a small amount of liquid, usually after browning the meat to help develop color and flavor.
