I never knew there were so many braised short rib recipes on the web and it seems a good portion are dedicated to slow cookers. I eyed a package of two meaty-looking beef short ribs and couldn’t wait to get home and decide how to cook them. I did not want a typical braise with wine and tomatoes. Instead, I yearned for something more Asian-infused. Ribs come in a few styles (English cut, flanken cut, kalbi cut) and the ones I chose resembled the kalbi (traditional Korean cut).
