Brown short ribs in hot fat. Add water; cover and cook slowly until tender (1 1/2 to 2 hours), adding more water if necessary. Drain off fat.

Add green pepper, onion and pineapple; cook 5 minutes. Serve over hot chow-mein noodles or rice. Makes 5-6 servings.

Recipe - Jean Hansen - From Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.

"When we lived in Oregon, we would often buy whole side of beef.  There were always so many short ribs and we never knew what to do with them.  In those days people didn't do much with short ribs, and you could buy them from the butcher for 25 cents per pound.  Not like today, where they seem to have become something 'special.'  I found this in Better Homes and Gardens magazine in the section for prize winning recipes." - Jean Hansen
