- 3 pounds. boneless short ribs
- 1 large onion, chopped

- 2 tablespoons. olive oil

- 1 bunch of parsley, chopped
- handfull of pink peppercorns, for garnish
- In a heavy Dutch oven quickly sautee the onion, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes.
- Add the entire bottle of red wine (use good red wine...try a glass and if you don't like the taste of the wine, don't use it...always use a wine good enough to drink).
- Reduce the wine to about half.
- Fire up the BBQ or Big Green Egg which is best for smokin'!
- Add the meat to a light mixture of olive oil with a little soy sauce, ginger and toss. Don't put too much spices or flavoring in the marinade...remember it will be reduced in the braising and reduction steps.
- BBQ the meat until brown but not burned. Turn off the flame and leave the ribs in the bbq for a few minutes to add more smokey flavor. Remove from BBQ.
- Add meat to reduced red wine vegetable mixture. Add enough water to barely cover. Throw in the chopped parsley. Put pan cover on and cook in a 250 degree oven for about 3 hours or until tender.
- Remove meat from pot. Remove vegetables and discard. Strain remaining liquid and return to pot and reduce to a sauce. Cool sauce and remove fat.
- Add meat back to pot . Heat.
- Serve the meat with sauce poured over it.
