Season all sides of short ribs with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, add short ribs and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute. Add red wine and bring to a simmer. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir well.
Add short ribs back to the pot in a single layer and top with fresh bay leaves, thyme, oregano, and rosemary sprigs. Cover with lid.
Place the covered pot in the lower half of the oven and bake for 2 ½ hours until tender. The beef is meant to be fork-tender. Once done, discard fresh herbs.
