Beef Short Ribs

Introduction & Inspiration

I hope you'll give this method of cooking beef short ribs a try. It doesn't disappoint!

Tips

*I highly recommend you fill your slow cooker with as many beef short ribs as will fit in the container so that the whole family can experience the culinary delight of slow cooked beef short ribs.

Save the beef short rib bones as they are great for making even more gelatinous bone broth. Check out my Bone Broth - Pressure Cooker recipe for instructions on how to make this.

Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

**Ensure you add a good amount of broth. Add more if you are cooking a lot of beef ribs. The broth created is just delicious.

If you have a chance before serving this tasty dish, take a ladle and pour some of the beef short rib cooking juices into a pan on medium-high heat with a pinch of salt. As the temperature increases, the cooking juices will start to reduce down over several minutes. Stir from time to time, to see how thick your sauce is becoming. Perform a quick taste test to see if the sauce has the intensity you're looking for. (The more the water has been boiled off and the liquid reduced down, the great the flavour profile of the sauce will be). Once you are happy with the sauce consistency, carefully pour the sauce from the pan into a serving jug ready for use.

As a final touch, add a heart shape of animal fat (tallow/lard or bone marrow for example) on top of the meat to serve for special occasions like Valentine's Day. Add the amount that will ensure a good PKD ratio, depending on how fatty your beef short ribs are.
