Thai Short Ribs

Short ribs, the tough, flavorful, fatty cuts from the ends of the rib bones, come two ways: short sections of individual ribs (English cut) or long strips cut across several ribs (flanken cut). For this recipe you will need the more compact English cut ribs. The sauce is classic Thai, a combination of hot (jalapeño), sour (balsamic vinegar), salty (soy sauce and fish sauce), and sweet (honey).
