Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 pounds beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1/2 cup chile sauce

  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and pepper. Coat the short ribs with the flour mixture.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown short ribs in olive oil.
