Introduction
The original version of this recipe used country style pork ribs and was quite delicious, but I decided to try it with beef instead, because a number of our friends have dietary restrictions regarding pork.Both the original and this recipe are made in a slow cooker.
It could be modified to be made either on the stovetop or in the oven but would probably still take a couple of hours. (low and slow cooking is the key to tenderness and flavor in this braised dish) The original version of this recipe used country style pork ribs and was quite delicious, but I decided to try it with beef instead, because a number of our friends have dietary restrictions regarding pork.

Flavor was pretty good, if a little bit too "vinegar-y" -- I used cider vinegar, which is of course quite different from apple cider. Nutritional info is way off; did a recipe makeover to sub sugar-free preserves, and saw 4 oz of beef listed instead of 4 lbs; corrected calories per serving was 531! - 6/26/12

After I saw your comment, I went to the makeover button and saw the same thing- 4 oz. for the beef rib amount. I can't believe that I didn't see that; I clearly had 4 lbs. in the ingredients list on the bottom. I've now made the correction within the recipe itself.
