Instructions
In 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish or large resealable food storage plastic bag, combine vinegar, apple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, oil, dry mustard and pepper; mix well.
Add ribs, turning to coat. Cover dish or seal bag. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours to marinate.
Heat gas or charcoal grill for indirect cooking as directed by manufacturer or see p. 40 (Kitchen Tip). When grill is heated, remove ribs from marinade; reserve and refrigerate marinade.
Place ribs on grill directly over drip pan. Cover grill; cook 2 to 2 1/4 hours or until tender, turning occasionally.
During last 30 minutes of cooking time, in small saucepan, combine reserved marinade and chili sauce; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 20 to 30 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced, stirring occasionally. (Sauce will be similar to syrup.)
Sprinkle ribs with parsley.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Beef Short Ribs. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot
The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
