Pineapple Short Ribs with Brown Gravy
Updated April 22, 2020 
This is actually an old family recipe that came from my grandmother, who made it quite often. While this recipe certainly isn’t an authentic Asian recipe, it definitely is delicious. It is full of flavor and makes an incredible brown gravy. Serve this on rice or even over mashed potatoes.
