Finger-Lickin' Country Style Boneless Beef (Or Pork) Ribs
These are some great tasting, finger-lickin' ribs! Boil them and then grill them (or you may finish them in the oven, if you prefer), then serve them with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Simple and easy recipe, with NO heating up of the kitchen from a hot oven, which is an added bonus especially in the hot summertime. Recipe is from my Southern born and raised sister-in-law, Patricia Ellen. Thought I'd share with you all, I hope you enjoy. Serve with some corn bread or buttered rolls, beans and slaw.
