Beef In Barolo

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pounds bone-in short ribs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 2 stalks celery, sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 4 ounces pancetta, diced
• 1 1/2 cups Barolo or other hearty red wine like Chianti or Barbaresco
• 1 1/2 cups homemade tomato sauce or diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs generously with salt and pepper and add them to the pot in batches, making sure not to crowd the pot. Brown them for 4 to 5 minutes per side, setting them aside on a plate as they're browned.
2. Once all the meat is browned, pour off all but about a tablespoon of the fat and add the rest of the olive oil. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
3. Add the onion, carrots, celery and pancetta and cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the wine and tomatoes and a few large pinches of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the liquid is simmering. Add the short ribs back to the pot, submerging them in the liquid. Cover the pot and put in the oven until the meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
5. Remove the short ribs from the pot and keep them warm. Bring the cooking liquid to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce to about 2 cups. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Return the meat to the pot and serve, or cool slightly, then refrigerate (it will be even better the next day once you reheat it).
