Slow Cooker BBQ Boneless Beef Round Country Style Ribs On Onion Rolls With Chile Butter Corn on the Cob

The Used Meat aisle was again good to us. I had never prepared boneless beef round country style ribs before. It turns out they're just luscious pieces of beef that were close to the bones (for the best flavor!). They lend themselves well to slow cooking and good old fashioned barbecue sauce. It's alos getting to be fresh corn season and it seemed time to have some butter dripping down our chins.

Store bought cole slaw and onion rolls round this meal out.
