Add the leeks, celery, onions, and carrots and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced. Add the stock, tomatoes, Guinness, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
• Place the ribs in the pot, along with the juices and seasonings from the sheet pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for one hour. Uncover and cook for one more hour, until the meat is very tender.
• Remove the short ribs to a plate with a slotted spoon and discard the thyme bundle and any bones that have separated from the meat. Simmer the sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. Skim some of the fat off the top and discard. Return the ribs to the pot, heat for 5 minutes, and taste for seasonings. Serve hot in shallow bowls, with a toasted baguette and extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Coat the short ribs liberally with the Brown Sugar Rub on both sides. It is not necessary to rub the spices into the meat, rather sprinkle an even layer over the top. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. Add a log of hickory.
• Place the meat in the smoker and maintain temperature at or around 225 degrees F for 12 to 14 hours, or until done. Replace the hickory logs as they expire.
• Test the meat by twisting one of the exposed bones. If the bone moves easily the meat is done. Allow the meat to rest for 30 minutes. Cut each plate into 4 portions. Serve with BBQ sauce.
• Combine the sugars, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and mix thoroughly.

Steps:

• Pour the wine into a large saucepan set over medium heat. When the wine is heated, carefully set it aflame. 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. Remove from the heat.
• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large casserole, large enough to hold 6 ribs, over medium-high heat. Season the ribs all over with salt and the crushed pepper. 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.
• Transfer the browned ribs to a plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pot; lower the heat to medium, and toss in the vegetables and herbs. Brown the vegetables lightly, 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to blend.
• Add the reduced wine, browned ribs, and stock to the pot. 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. Every 30 minutes or so, lift the lid and skim and discard whatever fat may have bubbled up to the surface.
• Carefully transfer the meat to a heated serving platter with a lip and keep warm. Boil the pan liquid until it thickens and reduces to approximately 1 quart. Season with salt and pepper and pass through a fine-mesh strainer; discard the solids.
• Presentation: Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with vegetables of your choice.

Steps:

• For the marinade, heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 30 minutes. Set aside half of the marinade for serving. (You don't want the sauce you use for dipping the cooked ribs to touch the raw meat.) 2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the ribs on a baking sheet, slather both sides with marinade, and bake for 1 hour. 3. Place the ribs on a charcoal grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until one side is nicely browned. Turn the ribs and close the cover of the grill, making sure the vents are open enough to allow airflow, but not so much that there are flames around the meat. Grill the ribs for 10 more minutes, turning if necessary, until both sides are nicely browned. Place the ribs on a platter, brush with more marinade, and wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice between the ribs, and serve hot with the reserved sauce for dipping.
