Beef Short Ribs

Awesome. Great job. Simple and tasty. Way to go.

Tom will be proud of you for the KISS approach

I saw some beef ribs in Safeway the other day. I have seen them several times. Are you speaking about those ribs with the bone in? Looked like 3-4 bones per rack. Or did you get regular short ribs with alot of meat attaced to one side? I would like to try some beef ribs but they looked like they were mostly shiners, so didn't pull the trigger on them yet..

Two basic types.

The back ribs which don't typically have a lot of meat and they come from underneath the Standing Rib Roast (we use for Rib Eyes and Prime rib). They're alway pretty cheap but you have to eat several of them to get much meat. Cook 'em up.

The loin ribs that I like come in two varieties. Depending on which rib they cut from, the ribs for short ribs are underneath the chuck roast and when trimmed heavy, leave a lot of chuck on there for cooking.

A lot of times I see short ribs, that instead of maintaining the full rack, the bones have been cut down into smaller section typically just a few inches long. About 4 cuts to the average rib.

All are good eats, just make sure to braise it a little. Let meat means it WILL dry out.
