2. [3:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=196s) Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper, then coat them lightly with flour.
3. [6:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=403s) Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the ribs in batches until browned.
4. [7:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=447s) In a separate saucepan, boil the red wine until it reduces to about two cups.
5. [8:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=509s) Remove the ribs, lower the heat to medium, and cook the chopped vegetables with a pinch of salt.

8. [10:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=620s) Wrap the thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in cheesecloth and tie it to make a bouquet garni.
9. [11:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bzi_ybXw10&t=709s) Return the ribs to the pot, add the bouquet garni, cover with a parchment cartouche and lid, then braise at 300°F (149°C) for 2.5 to 3 hours.

12. Turn off the heat and whisk in the pecorino, cold butter, orange juice, and orange zest.
13. Remove the ribs from the pot, strain the braising liquid, and skim off the excess fat.
14. Reduce the strained liquid over medium-high heat, then stir in honey, balsamic vinegar, and butter.
