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.

Serve
- Arrange ribs on serving platter or individual plates. Top with sauce and torn basil leaves.
