Short ribs need advice

Hntnhrd

I have been wanting to cook beef ribs for awhile. But no one around here had them as a stock item. So I swung into the local
butcher shop last week and caught the owner in. He was getting ready to break down a whole steer so he said he would save me the plates. Got the call this morning and stopped in to take a look. I bought them all. 


Any recommendations ??? Should I vacum seal and wet age in the fridge? Looking forward to
what you all think I should do with these

Cook it like a brisket!

No idea how many you have but when you cook-just run low&slow (around 250-260*F) til they probe like buttah (toothpick test). Plan on around 5-7 hours depending on the cow.  Brisket on a stick.  Great score.

I agree with Cap.  I'd bet a good 6 hours on those babies.

I picked up 4 racks. But am only going to cook one at a time. Should I just got with a Rub or baste them while they cook low and slow? Sauce at the end?

I just rub.  S&P and garlic is great too.  Generally no need for sauce.

Put one rack on couple hours ago. Salt/pepper/ granulated garlic and cumin. Just took a peek bones are starting to come out.

Tooth-pick and patience for the finish-you will enjoy some of the best beef you have tasted. Personal opinion-beef ribs beat their pork cousins every time.
Great way to enjoy any evening-and to pull this off on a Tuesday- most eggcellent.
