    Cut ribs & finish sauce

    • Once food is done, remove Chef’s Pan from Brava and check ribs. Meat should easily pull from bones when pierced with a fork. If they are not yet tender, bake at 350°F for 15–30 minutes more.
    • Transfer ribs to large cutting board; cut between bones into individual ribs.
    • Stir red wine vinegar into sauce. If you prefer a chunky sauce, proceed to Step 5.
    • If you prefer a smooth sauce, transfer sauce to blender and puree on high for about 2 minutes.
