Bought beef short rib for the first time. They were $8.50/lb at the pricey store and not even on sale. Am I just glonky or is this normal??

Ended up deciding to make three of 'em so I could shoot for rare, medium rare, and medium. Was nervous I'd screw it up since searring 4 sides of a rectangular prism was new to me, but holy yum.

Left another one dry brining in the fridge overnight for tonight 😀

    Atta boy on the empirical testing protocol! Short ribs are an interesting one in which cooking a little longer is beneficial. There is a lot of connective tissue that requires time to break down. Someone mentioned sous vide here and they are correct. Reverse sear is another option. For me, these are a treat, and some of the “beefiest” tasting steak cuts.

    First picture makes me think of kobe beef and suddenly I’m wondering whatever happened to kobe beef

    $8.50/lb? Where? At that price I will drive anywhere in the U.S. and come out on top, a la the Kramer/Newman recycling scheme!

    These aren’t meant to be cooked like a steak. Much better roasted/braised slow cooked basically.

    Looks amazing honestly, sometimes you luck out with a good deal.

    Nothing wrong with being glonky btw

    Peruse a braised short rib recipe. Or even a marinated short rib recipe. Or both at the same time. Sous vide is good too, but braised has been my favorite.

    Short ribs like that are great. I like to season them with salt and garam masala, sear all sides, then cook in the instant pot with beef broth and onions, sometimes mushrooms too. Nice dish to eat over rice and they turn out fall-apart tender.

    Good deal! I posted about some prime ones of these I got recently from Costco for $14/lb. Came out great and family ate it all up quick!

    I grab these every time I see them at my local Rancho San Miguel. Always cheap and super delicious. It feels like I’m stealing.

    Those are also called Denver steaks. Great steaks. They’re from the short rib muscle, but from further up on the cow. The brisket keeps the muscle from doing as much work so they stay tender without losing flavor.

    Great price, so many ways you can cook them and try different dishes at that price point. You didn’t prepare the cut for the best value.

    Suppose to cook this either low and slow or slice thin and grill after being marinated first.

    Definitely would never cook like a normal steak.

    Short ribs aren’t steak. They should be seared and then braised for a couple hours.

    Wtf is “glonky”? Never heard that before in my life.

  28. strechout

    I cook it this way pretty often and love it when you find nice cuts like this. Low and slow is good, but seared and sliced thin is awesome I think. Enjoy them on the grill too

    72hr sous-vide at 128F (53C) rubbed with truffle salt, then reverse sear. Will transcend the senses.

    We’ll marinate in Galbi overnight, then sous vide them at 140 for 48 hours. They fall apart if you look at them just the right way.

    This is my favorite cut to bring camping, Salt, Pepper and cook it on a grill grate over a hot fire or skewered on a metal rod.

    I grill those all the time. Cheap steak hack. Just find the pieces best marbled and enjoy.
