3 to 3 1/2 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons shortening (I use olive oil)
2 onions, sliced
1/2 to 3/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
4 tablespoons flour, divided

Coat short ribs in mixture of 2 tablespoons flour, salt and pepper.

Heat oil in large skillet and brown ribs on all sides. Pour off excess fat.

In crock pot, combine ribs, onions, wine, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and chili powder. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, then turn to LOW for 6 hours, or till done. Turn control to HIGH and thicken with other 2 tablespoons flour that has been dissolved in a little water. Cook on HIGH about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Serve over wide noodles.

Yummy!
