Instructions
Using a medium skillet, add olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onions and garlic; stir until well combined. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions are translucent.
Add chile powder; stir until well combined. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer mixture into a mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients (wing sauce, olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice and lime zest); stir until well combined.
Refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
Place flanked-style short ribs in a large ziptop bag. Add cold marinade and turn several times so short ribs are well coated. Refrigerate for 3-12 hours, depending on how strong you like your marinade flavors. (Note: I marinated them for 8 hours, and they were excellent!)
Preheat grill to high heat.
Remove short ribs from marinade; discard any excess marinade. Pat short ribs dry with paper towels.
Grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer grilled short ribs to a plate and cover lightly with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Brush with more buffalo wing sauce (not marinade!) before serving.
Garnish with green onions or chives before serving.
