The beef ribs were too fatty, but I actually liked the flavor. I've used the same recipe substituting brisket and it's really good.
9/16/2011 04:36:35 PM Report AbuseThe recipe name is a misnomer. The recipe is called Beer-BRAISED .... Braising is a specific cooking technique that isn't used in this recipe.
3/29/2011 10:34:11 PM Report AbuseI also liked the receipe but it lacked seasoning.With any receipe season to your taste. I added three cloves of galic to the liquid I rubed half my sesonings into the meat before adding it to crockpot.A 1/2 teaspoon of blackpepper, a teaspoon of toneys,1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and a pich of salt.

8/14/2010 03:15:51 PM Report AbuseDid anyone substitute a different kind of meat for short ribs? Just wondering if any beef would still be good
