Lettuce wraps might be our all-time favorite weeknight summer dinner—minimal cooking, maximum flavor and freshness. And if your only experiences with short ribs have been in their braised form, then you're in for a treat. Sliced thin and generously marinated, as they are here, they're quick-cooking, tender, and packed with flavor, but they're also delicious grilled whole to a juicy medium-rare; just take care not to overcook them. Want to make this a lighter meal? Lose the rice and sub in some herbs and crunchy, quick-pickled veggies.
