Ingredients

4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
1 teaspoon Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Place short ribs in a Glad® zipper bag and sprinkle with the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix. Seal and toss until the short ribs are evenly coated.
