As per Chefs advice, the dish tastes better after sitting overnight and it is also easier to degrease the sauce after a night in the fridge. Therefore it may be advisable after straining off the vegetables, to return the ribs to the not yet reduced cooking liquor and chill overnight. The following day the fat will have solidified on the top of the sauce making it easier to remove. Then continue from stage 11 after removing the ribs again from the liquid.
