1
Preheat oven to 325 deg F. Melt 1 tbl butter in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat.
-
2
Sprinkle ribs with coarse salt and pepper, and add to pot in single-layer without crowding. (Do in batches, if necessary). When browned on all sides, remove to bowl.
-
3
Add 1 tbl butter to pot (I did not as my ribs exuded enough fat). Add onions and saute until brown, about 6 minutes.
-
4
Add parsnips and saute until they begin to color, about 6 minutes.
-
5
Add garlic and then the rosemary.
-
6
Add wine and broth and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
-
7
Return the ribs and any accumulated juices to the pot in a single layer. Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in oven.
-
8
Braise until the ribs are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
-
9
Using tongs, remove ribs to a serving bowl and keep warm.
-
10
Skim fat from the gravy, and boil until it starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
-
11
In the meantime, mix together 1 tbl butter with the flour. Adding it in bits, whisk this into the gravy and continue to cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes longer.
-
12
Season with salt and pepper. Cover ribs with gravy.

Note: This can be made up to two days ahead. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
