In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown short ribs in olive oil.

Step 3
In a slow cooker, combine onions, wine, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly. Transfer the short ribs from the skillet to the slow cooker.

Step 4
Cover, and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
