Heat the oil in an oven-proof pot over medium heat. Brown the short ribs on all sides - please don't overcrowd the pan, do it in batches removing the meat and setting aside once done. Colour is flavour. Take your time.

Once done with the meat, remove some excess oil if required (you only need about a tablespoon in there) add onions and carrots to the pan, cook for 10 minutes until soft, add the garlic and paprika and cook for 1 minute. Then add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
