Instructions:
-
Brown Ribs on all sides: Begin by browning the short ribs on all sides. This step helps to seal in the juices and develop a rich, flavorful crust. Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add the ribs and brown them evenly. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the ribs are browning, prepare the delicious barbecue sauce. In a bowl, combine the red wine, tomato sauce, diced yellow onion, salt, garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, lemon juice, prepared mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped green chili peppers. Mix everything together thoroughly to create a tantalizing blend of flavors.
-
Transfer to Dutch Oven: Once the ribs are nicely browned, transfer them to a heavy Dutch oven or a deep baking pan. Make sure the pan is large enough to hold all the ribs comfortably.
-
Pour the Sauce Over Ribs: Now, the magic moment! Pour the prepared barbecue sauce over the browned ribs, ensuring they are all evenly coated. This sauce will infuse the meat with incredible flavors as it cooks low and slow.
-
Bake to Perfection: Cover the Dutch oven or baking pan with a lid or aluminum foil to seal in all the goodness. Pop it into a preheated 325°F (163°C) oven and let the ribs cook for about 2 hours. The low temperature and long cooking time will make the meat tender, juicy, and oh-so-flavorful.
-
Check for Doneness: After 2 hours, check the ribs for tenderness. They should be fork-tender, meaning the meat easily pulls away from the bone. If they’re not quite there yet, give them a bit more time, checking every 15 minutes or so.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the ribs are done to perfection, remove them from the oven. Carefully uncover the Dutch oven or pan, releasing those mouthwatering aromas. Serve the ribs hot, perhaps with some creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh salad on the side. Get ready for a chorus of “mmm’s” and “wow’s” around the table!
-
Savor Every Bite: Dig into these succulent oven-barbecued short ribs and savor every juicy, flavorful bite. The tender meat, infused with that rich, tangy sauce, is sure to be a hit with family and friends alike. Whether it’s a cozy weeknight dinner or a lively potluck gathering, this recipe is a winner every time!
-
Storage Tips: If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare with these ribs!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep well for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 325°F (163°C) oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
