After a tasting session focusing on Priorat wines back in 2005, Florence Fabricant was looking for a meal pairing that could stand up to the wines' heft. She found what she was looking for in a beef stew featured in "Italian Slow and Savory" by Joyce Goldstein. She adapted it by swapping the stew meat for short ribs, and cooking it in a Dutch oven or heavy casserole, but if a tagine is available to you, that also works. "If you use a tagine for the recipe, it must be a large one, about 17 inches in diameter," Florence writes. "For a smaller one, 12 to 14 inches, you can make the dish to serve four, reducing the quantities of ingredients by one-third."

Steps:
- Place meat in a bowl, add 1/4 cup oil, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt and pepper. Rub seasonings all over meat. Cover and allow to marinate 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and brown meat on all sides in stages to keep from crowding, adding more oil if needed. Transfer meat to a heavy casserole or a large tagine. Lower heat, add remaining oil and onions and sauté until tender. Add garlic, cumin, hot paprika or cayenne and remaining sweet paprika and sauté a few minutes more. Add wine, simmer briefly, then transfer contents of skillet to casserole with meat.
- Add tomatoes, lemon and herbs to meat, and more salt and pepper if needed. Cover casserole and simmer on low heat until meat is tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Adjust seasoning as needed. Remove herb bundle and serve.
