BUTCHER'S TIP
Peter Bouchier

You are in for a treat. Beef short ribs are a stellar and versatile cut of meat, perfect for a host of recipes from American-style BBQ to Indian curries.

Our grass-fed beef short ribs are presented as approximately 3cm-sized cubes of meat and rib bone. As you may guess, short ribs are cut from the fore ribs of the cattle, typically the chuck, rib, brisket or plate. 

We source our grass-fed short ribs from leading cattle farmers in Victoria and New South Wales. Their cattle are raised sustainably and conscientiously, and spend their days galavanting through open fields (or standing stock in silence — whatever makes them happiest). Their loving care results in thick, high-quality meat. Every bite bursts with juicy flavour.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN BEEF SHORT RIBS

Beef ribs are a wonderful cut of meat to cook with, and their astonishing power comes from their incomparable tenderness. Their juicy meat has earned them a special place on dining tables across the world. Short ribs are arguably most famous as a staple in Texan BBQ, but are equally loved on every continent. 

The key to picking high-quality beef short ribs is to look for the marbling. You want to see fresh, bright red meat streaked with fine veins of intramuscular fat. When cooked low and slow (as beef short ribs always should be), this fat will render down, flavouring the meat and keeping it moist.

With the marbling accounted for, you can then consider the style of the cut. Peter Bouchier’s grass-fed beef short ribs are presented in the English style.

  • English-style beef short ribs: thick chunks of meat with thin, flat bones that you and your guests can easily remove. Perfect for practically any dish, especially low and slow BBQ.
  • Bone-in beef short ribs: we choose not to remove the bones from our short ribs, as bones impart a great deal of flavour. Not to worry, these bones are large enough to be easily removed while eating.
  • 3cm cubed beef short ribs: These hefty chunks of meat are perfect in the oven, slow cooker, smoker, broiler, BBQ or curry pot. Their size allows them to maintain integrity despite their tenderness.

Frequently asked questions

What is your best beef short rib recipe?

How generous of you to invite us to show off… As it happens, we do have an excellent recipe that stars our grass-fed beef short ribs.

Give our Korean-style beef ribs recipe a try. This exceedingly simple recipe is guaranteed to become a weekly staple.

Are beef short ribs better bone in or bone out?

We prefer to serve our grass-fed beef short ribs with the bone in. Bones impart a great deal of savoury flavour, especially when simmered. Since beef short ribs are best prepared over a long time atop a low heat, keeping the bones in dramatically improves the flavour of your final dish.

What are the different styles of beef short rib cuts?

Beef short ribs are often sold in 2 key styles:

  1. English-style beef short ribs: the ribs are individually separated. This style results in a thick hunk of meat sitting atop a single thin bone. This is our preferred style.
  2. Flanken-style beef short ribs: a cut is made across the ribs rather than in between them. This results in a thin strip of meat with (usually) 3 cross sections of bone. 

Though we prefer the English style, we would not say one style is better than the other. Rather, you should choose your beef short rib style to suit your recipe.

What is the difference between beef short ribs and pork short ribs?

There are two significant differences between pork and beef short ribs:

  1. Beef short ribs have more meat. Being the larger animal with bigger ribs and thicker muscles, beef offer a tremendous amount of meat.
  2. Beef short ribs have more fat. Though pork are fatty, bovine meat is better marbled, and that marbling delivers a juicier result.

As to the question of which one is better? Well, that depends on your preference and intent. Pork and beef have unique flavours, densities and fat/meat ratios, and it is up to you to decide which meat better suits your recipe — or which recipes better suit the meat available to you.
