How We Recommend Cooking

Beef short ribs are best cooked low and slow to allow the connective tissue to soften and the meat to become tender.

In the Oven: Sear the ribs, then braise them covered with beef broth, onions, and your favorite seasonings at 300–325°F until fork-tender.

In the Slow Cooker: Add the ribs with broth, vegetables, and seasonings. Cook on low until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

On the Smoker: Season with your favorite barbecue rub and smoke at 225–250°F until the meat is tender. Allow time for the connective tissue to break down for the best results.

For a comforting family meal, serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.
