Remove ribs. Add a couple of ounces of olive oil. Add garlic, onions, celery, and carrots. Brown vegetables

until edges are nicely caramelized. Add red wine and bouillon cubes and bring to a boil making sure to scrape bottom and sides to loosen fond.

Remove ribs. Strain off vegetables and serve with mashed-potatoes, rice or egg noodles and sauted zucchini. Enjoy.
