    Method

    1. 1

      Season the ribs a day ahead and refrigerate uncovered.

    2. 2

      Sear in batches in a heavy pot, taking your time to get a deep brown crust on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove.

    3. 3

      Cook the tomato paste in the fat for 2 minutes, add the vegetables and garlic and scrape up the brown bits.

    4. 4

      Add the wine and reduce by half, then the stock and herbs. Return the ribs.

    5. 5

      Cover and braise at 160°C (325°F) for 3 hours until tender.

    6. 6

      Lift out the ribs, strain and skim the liquid, and reduce to a glossy sauce. Return the ribs to glaze. Serve with mashed potatoes or polenta.
