Sooty Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hi, I’ve not cooked Beef Short Ribs before - so I’ve got a couple of Q’s… How much - Weight or number of ribs - should I be getting per (hungry) person? I’ve seen ribs from ex-dairy cows for sale on-line (Coombe Farm Organic) - are these a good choice? Any other tips for cooking ribs low & slow welcomed Many Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Biggest tip I can give you is get enough so I can have any leftovers😂😋👍 I have only cooked them once before and I found 1-2 ribs per person with extras/sides seemed enough for us. I just used salt and black pepper for seasoning and cooked them at 250F for a few hours. I need to do some more soon, beef short ribs seems to be a little tricky for me to get (which is why I haven't done them more often) Sorry cant give anymore tips though. Take some pics if you remember though, would be great to see😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take some pics & let you all know how it goes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittmab Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I would try and get a jacobs ladder, three or more connected ribs and cook as a whole joint. Again, simple salt, pepper rub, cook between 250/275F until, they probe tender. Good luck 🍀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken™️ Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) How did they turn out?? I’ve only done short ribs a handful of times, but I would make a couple of recommendations - firstly, dry brine them for at least 12 hours. Helps break up the fibres and enhances the flavour too. Secondly, and this is purely based on my own experience and expectations, shorties take waaaaaay longer than you think to cook to pull-apart tender. The good news is that they are so fatty/collageny that it’s pretty hard to overcook them. Edited July 24, 2022 by Ken™️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooty Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Thanks for the advice guys. My butcher let me down with the short ribs in the end, so they’ll have to wait for another day (soon, I hope!). So plan B - I did a whole shoulder of lamb. I marinated it overnight (olive oil, a couple of cloves of garlic, Harrisa, Ras al Hanout spice & fresh mint), cooked low-&-slow (5hrs + 1hr resting in foil). Served shredded, with pita bread dips & salad - a recipe I’ve cooked before in an oven, but first time on the bbq, with some apple wood chips. Beautiful - sorry, no pics, hungry family devoured it too quickly! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
