What you are witnessing is the spoils of over grilling- Next day Short Rib Tacos served with crisp fresh garden vegetables. To sparkle things up I whipped up a refreshing and light cilantro lime cream, which for such low calories offered a flavor punch and delightful creaminess.
Earlier this week we had some friends over and we made up my Korean BBQ’d short ribs. Since we are cooking over charcoal I try to make the most out of the effort and often over grill. Cold smoky meats the next day on a salad is summertime heaven to me. It’s also quick and easy pickin’s, which means more time to run off and play, and less time over a sink or cutting board.
