Add olive oil to the pan used to sear the ribs. Dice the shallot and sauté until soft. Deglaze the pan with the wine and add the beef stock. Add the sugar, bay leaf, peppercorns, and star anise to the pan and reduce by ¼.
-
Strain the solids out of the mixture, return to pot and continue to reduce until 3/4 of the liquid is gone. Whisk in the xanthan gum (optional) and and the butter.

An hour before dinner, preheat the oven to 225 degrees F, remove the ribs from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.
