Braising pork belly: did I ruin my Momofuku Pork Buns? [more inside]

My wife and I have a flank steak in the freezer and a small kitchen with no real outdoor grill access. Does anyone have any flank steak recipes that involve braising rather than grilling? I know it's a lean meat, so it doesn't lend itself to slower cooking, but I was wondering if anyone had found some successful workarounds.

I love cooking with my new dutch oven, but have never liked the taste of alcohol in food. I know I can always substitute, but is there a good braising cookbook that minimizes alcohol use in the recipes?

It's September, and (this morning, at least) it feels like fall is on its way. There's nothing I like more as the weather gets colder than a hearty bowl of stew. Can you suggest some delicious stews I might not have tried before? [more inside]

I need recommendations for a very cheap (<$5/750mL) but hearty, flavorful, and tasty red wine. This will be used as a braising liquid and then reduced to make a sauce for beef short ribs. [more inside]
