Drain the excess oil, lower the heat to medium, add a few drops of new oil and add the celery, onions and crushed red pepper to the pan. Season the vegetables with salt and cook until they are soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in the vinegar, stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Toss in the bay leaves, orange strips, star anise and thyme bundle. Return the meat to the pan, and add 4 cups water. Add the orange zest. Cover the Dutch oven and put it in the oven for 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven, turn the meat over and check the liquid level. If the liquid level has gone down, add about 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to the oven and cook for another hour.
