Heat a cast iron or other heavy gauge frying pan to a medium high heat (about a 7 on a coil stove).

Heat the coconut oil until very hot (the oil will sizzle when anything is placed in it).

Sear the ribs on all sides, season with salt and pepper and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Pour in the wine and water OR whisk the vinegar, Dijon and water and pour that in over the ribs.

Set to low and cook for eight hours.

You're welcome.
