Korean Style Short Ribs

  I recently saw a picture of Korean Short Ribs on a blog I follow.  They looked incredible.  I've never had short ribs before but the recipe sounded simple and delicious.  I went to the market and had to ask for help in the meat department finding the short ribs.  The recipe called for 5 pounds of them, but all my market had left were 2 1/2 pounds, so I took them.

  One thing I loved about this recipe was that it went in the crock-pot and I could leave it while I went to work.  I got a text in the middle of the day from my husband telling me how good the short ribs smelled.  When I walked in the house that night it was all I could do not to run to the crock-pot and have my dinner.

  The short ribs were so tender.  They were easily cut with a fork and well with brown rice.  The sauce had a fant Bar-B-Que and Asian flare it.  It was really good.  My husband immediately told me to keep this recipe as we'd have it again soon.  I had two cups of the sauce leftover so I froze it to later use with tofu stir fry.  Overall this was a great dish that we'll be having again soon!
