I'd never heard of boneless shortribs either--checked with a friend and she
had used them over the years. I'm happy with them as I hadn't been able to
get decent sized or meaty shortribs for years. Just bony things with lots
of fat--nasty and terribly expensive, over $3 per pound here. Thanks for
your recipe. The sauce looks delicious. I would love to see some recipes
for the smoker, although around here that is definitely a summer thing. I
had sort of expected to see some recipes for a stew-like dish, or something
with barley--don't know why. I would think something with green peppers,
onions, soy sauce and tomatoes would work also.
