Instructions

  1. 1 Season lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, shallot, and a pinch of salt; saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lamb and brown for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  3. 3 Add butternut squash, mushrooms, sweet potato, carrots, and celery; mix ingredients. Add bone broth and Marsala wine; it won't look like enough liquid but don't worry. Place rosemary and thyme on top.
  4. 4 Cover and cook on High for 3 hours. Lift off fresh herbs and stir the stew. Replace herbs, cover, and cook on Low until vegetables and lamb are tender, about 1 hour more.
  5. 5 Remove herbs before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather ingredients. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread out onions, carrots, and celery on the prepared baking sheet. Set rib bones on top.
  2. 2 Roast until bones are deep brown and onions are black, about 1 hour. Use a spatula or tongs to transfer bones and vegetables into a saucepan. Drain off and reserve any rendered fat from the baking sheet for the gravy.
  3. 3 Add broth and water to the saucepan, and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat falls off bone and is flavorless, about 4 hours. Skim any fat from the surface and reserve.
  4. 4 Strain broth and let cool to room temp.
  5. 5 Melt butter in a pot on medium-high and sauté mushrooms until well browned. Add 2 tablespoons rendered beef fat and stir until melted. Add flour and cook for a few minutes.
  6. 6 Whisk in broth, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until gravy has thickened to desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes more
  7. 7 Adjust salt to taste and season with freshly ground black pepper, cayenne, and balsamic vinegar.
  8. 8 Serve and enjoy!
