Short ribs offer exceptional richness and tenderness, making them a favourite for slow cooking. Their abundant marbling and connective tissue transform into silky, fall-apart meat when cooked properly.
Our Bass Strait Short Ribs come from 100% grass-fed, free-range cattle raised in the pristine coastal pastures of Tasmania and Victoria, producing superior depth of flavour and succulence.
Whether braised, smoked, or slow-cooked, these ribs deliver robust beefiness and juicy tenderness, absorbing marinades effortlessly and making every dish deeply satisfying and packed with flavour.
Cut Description & Characteristics
Short ribs are cut from the lower rib section of the cow, featuring thick layers of meat surrounding the bone, making them a substantial, flavour-rich cut.
Our Succulent & Meaty Bass Strait Short Ribs stand out because of:
-
Superior Marbling – Rich fat content ensures a juicy, melt-in-the-mouth texture when cooked low and slow.
-
Bold, Beefy Flavour – These ribs absorb seasonings beautifully, producing a deep umami taste with incredible depth.
-
Thick, Meaty Portions – Each rib provides ample meat, delivering a satisfying, indulgent eating experience.
-
Perfect for Slow Cooking – The connective tissue breaks down into rich, silky gelatin, creating buttery tenderness in every bite.
Best Cooking Methods for Maximum Flavour
Short ribs excel in slow-cooked preparations, allowing their natural collagen and marbling to create an unparalleled depth of flavour.
1. Braised Short Ribs – The Classic Comfort Dish
A slow braise in red wine, stock, and aromatics allows short ribs to become fork-tender, soaking up a rich, savoury sauce. The long, slow cooking process enhances their natural beefiness, making them perfect for pairing with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
2. Smoked Short Ribs – Deep, Smoky Intensity
Cooking over low heat (110-120°C) with hickory or oak wood creates a crispy, flavour-packed bark on the outside, while the interior stays succulently tender. A simple salt-and-pepper rub enhances their natural richness, making them a barbecue favourite.
3. Slow-Cooked Short Ribs – Hands-Off Perfection
Using a slow cooker or Dutch oven for 6-8 hours allows the marbled fat to render slowly, producing buttery, fall-off-the-bone meat. This method delivers incredible depth and texture, making it an easy yet satisfying meal.
4. Pressure-Cooked Short Ribs – Speed Without Sacrificing Tenderness
For those short on time, pressure cooking at high pressure for 45-60 minutes delivers intensely flavourful, melt-in-the-mouth ribs while preserving all the essential juices and marbling.
Flavour Pairings & Serving Ideas
Meaty, tender, and bursting with beefy richness, short ribs pair beautifully with bold spices, rich sauces, and slow-cooked, flavour-infused marinades.
Best Seasonings & Marinades
-
Classic Red Wine Braise – A combination of garlic, rosemary, bay leaves, and wine-infused stock deepens the ribs’ natural umami richness.
