Watch how to make this recipe

2

Pour the wine into a large saucepan set over medium heat

3

When the wine is heated, carefully set it aflame

4

Let the flames die out, then increase the heat so that the wine boils; allow it to boil until it cooks down by 1/2

5

Remove from the heat

6

Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

7

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large casserole, large enough to hold 6 ribs, over medium-high heat

8

Season the ribs all over with salt and the crushed pepper

9

Dust the ribs with about 2 tablespoons of matzoh meal and then when the oil is hot, slip the ribs into the pot and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until well browned

10

Transfer the browned ribs to a plate

11

Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pot; lower the heat to medium, and toss in the vegetables and herbs

12

Brown the vegetables lightly, 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to blend

13

Add the reduced wine, browned ribs, and stock to the pot

14

Bring to a boil; cover the pot tightly, and slide it into the oven to braise for about 2 1/2 hours, or until the ribs are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork

15

Every 30 minutes or so, lift the lid and skim and discard whatever fat may have bubbled up to the surface

16

Carefully transfer the meat to a heated serving platter with a lip and keep warm

17

Boil the pan liquid until it thickens and reduces to approximately 1 quart

18

Season with salt and pepper and pass through a fine-mesh strainer; discard the solids
