Short ribs are fatty, and can be tough at times. If you have no real oven, you might be better off braising them in a pot on the stove top, and letting them slow cook that way.
Broiling is a high, close-range exposure to heat that does not break down meat's connective tissue. If you want to roast the ribs instead, you can use a heat-proof, oven proof baking dish, put the ribs in there (they need no oil added to the pan: they are greasy enough) season them, and then cover the dish tightly with foil, so the grease does not spatter and create a fire risk (or just a greasy oven to clean). Try 350 degrees for an hour, but Google "short rib recipes" to find a ton of ways to cook your ribs, including alternate temperatures and times that might suit you best.
If what you've really got is not "short ribs" but "flanken style ribs", they can be broiled, but again, a greasy mess that way -- I do them in a skillet on the stove top, on medium high heat, with bbq sauce.
As long as you choose a toaster oven model that has a broiler function, you can definitely broil a breast of chicken or pan of bacon, for instance, with a toaster oven.

A toaster oven can stop running if you turn it off. Also, it can help if you unplug it.
The toaster is a device that toasts, but toasting was done long before the invention of the electric toaster. Toasting on an open fire is undoubtedly the earliest method, which predates the electric toaster by countless thousands of years.
