🍷 Instructions

1. Prep and sear the ribs Pat ribs dry and season generously. Heat oil in a Dutch oven and brown ribs on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the aromatics In the same pot, add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Deglaze and build flavor Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 10 minutes to reduce slightly. Add broth, herbs, and ribs back to the pot.
4. Braise low and slow Cover and cook at 325°F (160°C) for 2.5–3 hours until ribs are fork-tender.
5. Finish the sauce Remove ribs and strain sauce if desired. Simmer sauce to reduce, whisk in flour for thickness if needed. Adjust seasoning.
6. Serve with elegance Plate ribs over creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or buttered noodles. Spoon sauce generously over top.
