  1. These were really packed with flavor and I liked the reddish tone from the paprika too. I used flanken cut beef short ribs, but they worked out great too!
     
  2. I made these for a bbq I hosted a long time ago. They were delicious! A lot of work, but well worth it, especially if you are dieting (or even if you aren't!) No guilt here and all of the taste. I've been searching for this recipe for a while so that I could make it again and I'm so happy I found it!
