The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.35 star rating.

Absolutely delicious! The sweet and sour combination is fantastic, especially with the heat that comes from the chili sauce. I actually made them in the crockpot. First I browned the ribs in the olive oil and then dumped them into my crockpot with all of the other ingredients, cooked for about 4 hours on low and they turned out PERFECT. These ribs were such a hit the first time I made them, I've made them several times since.

We just had the short ribs for dinner. They were so yummy. We made mashed potatoes and shredded brussels sprouts with pancetta. We followed the original recipe using Thai chili sauce and an other review suggested but we would add a dash of hot sauce to kick up the taste next time. To cut down on the calories and fat, we made the mashed potatoes with a little butter, a little half and half and canned chicken broth to make them moist without adding more fat. My husband sliced the brussel sprouts and sauted them in a bit of olive oil and a tiny bit of butter along with pancetta and shallots. We added the pan sauce to the short ribs and mashed potatoes at serving and the trio (short ribs, light mashed potatoes and shredded brussel sprouts) made a memorable dinner!

Delicious recipe! Spicy, tangy, sweet all wrapped up in one. I think this would also be good with pork chops.

It was great. I didn't use honey and it was sweet enough.

Didn't have any chili sauce so took ketchup and added a couple T. of Tiger Sauce and 1 T. Chili Paste Sauce. As others suggested, thickened with cornstarch/water. Made a nice sauce to put over rice. Used boneless ribs. Forgot about taking the cover off halfway through cook time, just cooked covered the whole 2 hrs. and they just fell apart. Really good no-fail recipe. Thank you!

This recipe wasn't bad but it was missing something. The sauce was too soupy (although that could be fixed with the cornstarch.) It was also missing something I couldn't put my finger on. We ate it for dinner but I don't think I would make it again.

Really good recipe. I put it in the slow cooker after letting the meat marinade for an hour. I think the time in the slow cooker really helped. Meat was very tender and full of flavor. Added cornstarch to thicken sause and served over rice. Very Good!!!!

I give the recipe an average rating. The Sauce needed something...I added a little cornstarch and it thickened nicely, however it lacked flavor besides the beef flavor. I would add to this sauce a can of whole cranberrysauce stirred in or Whole Black Peppercorns, maybe three or four teabags & some port wine or sherry. The beef ribs themselves are Always Good.

I let the ribs soak in the sauce for an hour before cooking as recommended in a prior rating. Time consuming recipe since I had to make my own chili sauce but I have to tip my hat, great recipe overall. Thanks, will make again!

The ribs came out with a excellent flavor of sweet fruit and hot chili sauce. I would usse just half the amount of chili sauce but this is a personal perference.

very good. I think it would have been better if the ribs soaked for at least an hour in the cold marinade then baked for the 2 hours. long process but worth the wait. like a soaked in sweet/sour taste.

We all just love it!! I wasn't sure if I was suppose to add the juice of the pineapple, but I did. I also added the whole jar of chili sauce. Splashed some vinegar into it too. At the end of baking,I stirred in some cornstarch mixed with a little cold water. Served over white rice.

'cest bon!! We doubled the pineapple & onions, and used "Rooster" chili PASTE (hotter/spicier!). Suggest cornstarch to thiken the juice/gravy. Served over extra wide egg noodles. This as also a wonderful recipe for PORK, CHICKEN, or CABRITO!

These were not the best short ribs I've ever had. Actually, they weren't very good at all. I'm giving it 2 stars simply because the sauce was good over mashed potatoes. I just didn't care for what the beef turned out to be. :o(
