What the heck are short ribs anyway?

Short ribs (UK cut: Thin Rib) (Commonly known in UK as 'Jacob's Ladder' ) are a popular cut of beef. Beef short ribs are larger and usually more tender and meatier than their pork counterpart, pork spare ribs. Short ribs are cut from the rib and plate primals and a small corner of the square-cut chuck.

hors d'oeuvres

Seems like a good title for the first post on this blog. Short ribs are a very economical cut of beef with a wonderful hearty flavour, but they are not at all tender and have to be cooked for some time to be edible, usually by braising. When you embark on the short ribs adventure you can expect to have your home scented beautifully with wine, beef and onion aromas for hours on end - and then you get to eat them. Trust me, they're fab.
