Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the oil in a roasting pan set over medium-high heat. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper and brown them on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the pan and decrease the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, honey, ale and bay leaf. Return the meat to the pan and coat with the sauce.
  2. Bring the sauce to a simmer; cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil. Place in the oven and cook until the meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove the ribs, and skim as much fat as possible from the sauce. Serve the meat warm with some sauce.
