Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 3 1/2 to 4 lb. beef short ribs, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    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.
  • Step 
    2
    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.
  • Step 
    3
    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.) Serve sauce with ribs. Sprinkle ribs with parsley.
