When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on smoke with lid open until fire is established (4 to 5 Minutes). Set the temperature to High and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat a large cast iron dutch oven in grill with lid closed for 20 minutes.

Pat beef dry.

Add vegetable oil to preheated dutch oven and brown beef on all sides, turning with tongs, about 8 minutes.

Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Add chopped carrots, onion, and garlic to oil in dutch oven and cook stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup puréed tomatoes cover dutch oven and close grill. Cook for 20 minutes.

Add wine and cook for 30 more minutes with lid off dutch oven but grill closed stirring every 10 minutes or until sauce is thickened.

Add Demi Glacé, thyme, bay leaf, vinegars, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, beef along with any juices that have accumulated on plate.

Cover dutch oven with lid and turn grill temp down to 325 degrees F.

Braise for 4 hours or until beef is very tender. Will beef is braising wash potatoes, pierce with a fork a few times and set aside.

The last 1.5 hours of cooking place the potatoes directly on grill great next to dutch oven.

Pull the Dutch oven and potatoes from grill. Let potatoes slightly cool and then half length wise, using a fork scrape flesh into a large sauce pan.

Smash mixture with potato masher until mostly smooth. Stir in butter and half and half, season generously with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Pull the beef out of the pot and spoon some of the braising liquid over each rib. Serve with the mashed potatoes and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
