What a nice birthday gift.
I love my enameled cast iron Dutch oven. I will probably never cook meat in it, but I will be watching this thread for delicious recipes to dream about. Sorry, I have no recommendations; I use mine mostly for making soup. If you're interested in vegetarian recipes for your wife, I have plenty of those.
I've always wanted to do lamb shanks myself, and squeeb, those short ribs sound tasty.
