Directions

Prepare the ribs by cutting between the bones and scoring the back membrane. Season well with salt and your choice of rub.
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
In a large Dutch oven over high heat, sear the ribs on all sides until they develop a good colour. Then, remove and set aside.
With the ribs removed, add the shallots and carrots to the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes to develop some colour. Then, add the garlic, herbs, and wine. Cook the wine for 4 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes and mix well.
Return the beef ribs to the pot and cover with chicken stock. Place a cartouche (a round of parchment paper) over the ribs, then cover with the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours.
After cooking, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest in the cooking liquid for 20-30 minutes. Then, remove and place on a lined oven tray, ready to serve.
When ready to serve, reheat the cooked ribs in a 190°C (375°F) oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and garnish with parsley and pickled onions.
