Braised Beef Spare Ribs is a classic dish that is perfect for when you want something hearty and comforting. The slow-cooking method tenderizes the meat, which falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. The combination of red wine and veal stock creates a flavorful sauce that enhances the overall taste of the dish. Though braising is a time-consuming process, it is worth the wait to enjoy these succulent spare ribs. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted veggies for a delicious, satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.	Season the spare ribs with salt and pepper.
2.	Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3.	Add the spare ribs and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
4.	Remove the spare ribs from the pot and set aside.
5.	Add the onion, celery, and carrot to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
6.	Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer.
7.	Add the veal stock and return the spare ribs to the pot.
8.	Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer the pot to a preheated 350°F oven.
9.	Bake until the spare ribs are tender, about 2 hours.
10.	Remove the spare ribs from the pot and set aside.
11.	Skim any fat from the sauce and strain into a clean saucepan.
