Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the olive oil into a 12-inch sauté pan, turn the heat to high, and when the oil is hot, slip in the meat. Turn the ribs two or three times to brown them well. If the pan is crowded, do a batch at at time, then return them all to the pan. Pour in the wine and turn the ribs once or twice while the wine bubbles completely away.

  2. Step 2

    Add the sliced onions, salt and chili pepper, cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, turning the ribs occasionally, until the meaty part of the ribs feels very tender and the onions have cooked down to a creamy consistency.

I combined Mark Bittman's recipe using Chris's Rub for ribs with this recipe and it was a spectacular success. I do not have access to an outdoor grill, so I cooked it in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour, removed the cover for the last 10 minutes My guests thought it was great.

I don’t eat beef but those who do in my family love this dish. It is so simple that it came out perfectly the first tome I made it and is now a regular part of our rotation. No changes necessary.

Spouse can’t handle spicy b/c of lung issues & coughing so only used a pinch of red pepper flakes. BUT I added about a half cup of minced sage halfway through, used a roux to thicken, added a bit more sage at end ad garnish.
