For a real straight-from-the-chuckwagon beef meal, you can't rope a better recipe than this! This is the recipe I rely on when feeding a hungry group. The wonderfully tangy sauce is lip-smacking good.—Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

Another comment on this recipe: the meat department at my regular supermarket was out of short ribs one day, and one of the butchers suggested that I buy a cross rib roast and cut it against the grain into pieces the size of regular boneless short ribs and proceed with my recipe. It turned out great and was much less expensive than short ribs.

Excellent, melt in the mouth meat and very good sauce. My brother thinks it's the best he's ever eaten. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. THANKS !

Made these wonderful ribs and I have to say my family was completely beside themselves.We do not have short ribs often here for they are very expensive but I made them for a special day. My son is still asking me when I will make them again.

These are really easy to make, and are delicious as well! Bone-in beef short ribs are not generally available at my local grocery store, but I've substituted the boneless variety with no problem. This has become one of my standby recipes for when the meat-and-potatoes relatives are staying for supper.
