I had an idea for a recipe, but the final result is not quite what I am after. The flavour is right on, but the sauce texture is too thin.

Here is the (not yet named or finished) recipe:
-----
Ingredients:
1 c. dry pinto beans, soaked overnight, drained

Chop: 1 carrot, 1/2 onion, 1/2 rib celery.
Mince: 2 cloves garlic.

In a small bowl mix: 1 T. smoked paprika, brown sugar; 2 t. kosher salt; 1 t. mustard, pepper, sage

2 c. beef stock
2 T. tomato paste

8 beef short ribs, trimmed of excess fat
2 t. olive oil
-----
Directions:

Turn the oven to 225F.
