Cook pepper strips in Dutch oven in oil, stirring constantly until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove peppers; cover and refrigerate. In remaining oil brown ribs on all sides. Add onion and cook until tender. Add sherry, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water. Cover and simmer on low 3 to 3 1/2 hours until meat is tender.
