A mixture of tomato juice, garlic, chilies, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful.
Instructions
Rinse ribs and pat dry; trim off and discard excess fat. In a 9- by 13-inch casserole, mix garlic, tomato paste, tequila, and tomato juice; turn ribs over in sauce to coat well. Cover airtight and chill at least 1 hour; if marinating up to 1 day, turn ribs over several times.
Uncover ribs, turn over in sauce, and sprinkle with onions and chilies. Seal casserole tightly with foil.
Bake in a 350 oven until meat is very tender when pierced, 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours. Skim off and discard fat; season meat to taste with salt and pepper.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks 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. One wine you could try is Raymond R Collection Merlot. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

Raymond R Collection Merlot
The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
