How to Make Wine Marinated Country Style Ribs

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan.
Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Place 3 pounds country-style ribs in a large glass dish.
Pour the wine mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Turn the ribs to coat both sides evenly.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the ribs occasionally.
Prepare your grill for medium heat. Consider placing a drip pan underneath to catch drippings and prevent flare-ups.
Remove the ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
Grill the ribs for approximately 1 hour, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade. For the first 30 minutes, monitor carefully to prevent burning.
Continue grilling until the ribs are tender and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 190°F/88°C).
Discard any remaining marinade.
