Easy Asian Broccoli Slaw

Beef Short Ribs

I am a closet rib lover.  Oh boy, I could eat platters of them, and I have to say they are a guilty pleasure.  I am not baised either, I will take beef, pork or lamb ribs any time.  I have even had rabbit ribs, though, I was still pretty hungry after that one.
