Boneless beef rib finger meat?

Ran across cryovaced packages of boneless beef rib finger meat in the grocery store today.

I've never seen this before.

Anyone have any experience with it?  

I'm thinking to get some and cook it like I would beef ribs....

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers!

    Really???  Posted for over 12 hours and no responses?  I'm shocked- I expected to have the full history of this cut of beef and at least 10 cooking suggestions by now!!

    I was waiting to see what some of our local experts might suggest.  I've cooked it once with moderate success, but I am no expert.  I did it next to some actual beef ribs (with bone) and cooked it just the same.  It was good, but I can't give you any more info or advice in terms of the keys to a successful cook - so consider this post mostly just another bump of the thread that may stimulate some good discussion.

    Sorry I can't help more.

    That's not quite what I'm talking about- though I did not buy it (yet) here is a photo of it that I found.

    Looks like they might work like a rib cook. Even without a bone (sorry) there looks like plenty of fat to keep them moist. Rub with your favorite or simple s&p.
    I love to braise short ribs in red wine. These look as though they would lend themselves to that approach too. You'd probably have to cool it to remove the fat and then reheat for serving - it'd taste better too.
    Are they cheap enough to experiment?
