Asian Short Rib Chili
"My family and I love chili, and are such fans of Asian food, that I knew I have to create a recipe with the consistency of a hearty chili, and the special flavors of Asian cuisine, by putting my unique spin on this dish with the flavor combinations that I used. There’s sweet, heat, savory, hearty, simple, and complex at the same time, and it will give you that “Wow” factor with each and every bite! Pour yourself a glass of Black Box Pinot Noir and enjoy this special dish!"
