[Sort of] Wonderful Short Ribs

I am trying to keep life simple so buying a ton of cookbooks is not an option right now. Luckily, lots of my friends enjoy the braised short rib and one sent me this recipe from allrecipes.com. I am cooking it right now and it smells quite yummy. I'm imagining something BBQ-like.

It's not what I thought and maybe that's why I'm not in love with it. It's good. I did like the string beans that I sauteed in garlic and soy sauce.
