Beef Short Ribs Recipes

The best beef short ribs recipes are made with ones which are thick. Lately, I have noticed short ribs at Sam’s which are very thinly sliced which I learned are referred to as the “English” cut. I had never seen this cut before. It looks like most of them are all fat and some bone. This is not all I have noticed lately. I cannot believe how expensive they are. I know beef has really gone up in price but short ribs use to be one of the cheapest parts of the beef you could buy.

Years ago, when all my kids were at home I would make all kinds of beef short ribs recipes. Until recently, I only knew of one cut of short ribs. The bone in each was about 2 inches long which I now find them to be called “flanken”. Each piece was laden with marbled fat and thick beef. The flavor was fantastic, no matter how you cooked them. I would always buy this part of the beef not only for the flavor and versatility but because they were so cheap.

I made great beef short ribs recipes usually by first cooking the ribs until tender. You can add potatoes, carrots and all kinds of vegetables with them. My kid’s favorites usually included cooking homemade noodles or dumplings in the broth after cooking the meat. Rice and grits also makes a nice accompaniment for this beef. With the wonderful flavor of this marbled beef, I am sure you can imagine the great flavor it adds to soups and stews.

Short ribs can be cooked on the stove top, in the oven or in a slow cooker. By the way, the slow cooker is great for barbequing them. When this barbeque meat is tender and falling off the bones it is time to make you a delicious sandwich. Do not rule this cut out for backyard grilling. With flavorful marinades, short ribs can be the hit of your outdoor barbeque.

NOTE: Short ribs are tougher than a lot of other beef. I like them cooked longer until they are very tender.
