Questions about Beef shortribs
How do you cook beef short ribs so they turn tender?
Brown them well, then cover and braise with stock, wine or a savoury sauce at 150°C for about 3–4 hours. They are ready when a fork slides in easily and the meat is beginning to pull away from the bone.
Can you cook beef short ribs in a slow cooker?
Yes. Brown the ribs first for deeper flavour, then cook them covered with a little stock or sauce on low for 7–8 hours, or on high for 4–5 hours, until fork-tender.
Are beef short ribs good for the barbecue?
Yes, but they need time: cook them indirectly with the lid down until tender, then finish over direct heat to char the outside. Thin, flanken-cut ribs cook much faster than thick English-cut ribs, so watch them closely.
What should you look for when buying beef short ribs?
Choose ribs with a good covering of meat and some fine marbling, rather than large bare areas of bone or thick seams of hard fat. English-cut ribs are thick pieces with one bone; flanken-cut ribs are sliced across several bones.
How should you store cooked beef short ribs?
Cool them promptly, refrigerate in a covered container and eat within 2 days, or freeze them. Keep the cooking liquid with the meat when reheating so it stays moist; heat until steaming throughout.
What dishes are made with beef short ribs?
They are popular braised in red wine or stout, and in Korean galbi jjim, a soy-seasoned braise with vegetables. Serve them with mashed potato, polenta or rice to soak up the rich sauce.
How much protein is in a serving of beef short ribs?
A 113 g portion provides 22 g of protein. Beef short ribs are also high in zinc, providing 4.8 mg per 100 g.
