Our grass-fed beef short ribs are a delicious choice for slow-cooked, comforting meals. Raised on pasture in New Hampshire, our locally raised beef offers rich, hearty flavor that's perfect for braising, smoking, and traditional family recipes.

Beef short ribs are known for their deep beef flavor and generous connective tissue, which becomes wonderfully tender during slow cooking. Whether you're preparing a cozy Sunday dinner or a special meal for family and friends, these bone-in beef short ribs are well worth the wait.

Delicious Ways to Enjoy Beef Short Ribs

Grass-fed beef short ribs are especially well suited to low-and-slow cooking methods. Try them in:

• Classic Braised Short Ribs: Slowly cook with beef broth, onions, carrots, garlic, and fresh herbs until fork-tender.
• Red Wine Short Ribs: Braise with red wine, rosemary, and thyme for a rich, savory dish.
• Smoked Beef Short Ribs: Season with a simple dry rub and smoke over indirect heat for delicious barbecue flavor.
• Slow Cooker Short Ribs: Combine with vegetables, broth, and seasonings for an easy, hands-off meal.
• Shredded Beef: Remove the tender meat from the bones and use it in tacos, sandwiches, or hearty beef bowls.

How to Cook Grass-Fed Beef Short Ribs

For tender, flavorful short ribs, braising is one of the easiest and most reliable cooking methods.

1. Prepare: Thaw the short ribs completely in the refrigerator and pat dry. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices.
2. Sear: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Heat a Dutch oven or heavy, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat with a little cooking oil or fat. Brown the short ribs on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
3. Add Vegetables: Remove the ribs and sauté chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in the same pot until fragrant and lightly softened.
4. Add Liquid: Pour in beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both. Add a spoonful of tomato paste and herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or bay leaves. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
5. Braise: Return the short ribs to the pot, partially submerging them in the liquid. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for approximately 2.5–3.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and pulls easily from the bone.
6. Serve: Remove the ribs and skim excess fat from the cooking liquid. If desired, simmer the liquid to create a rich sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes, creamy polenta, or alongside roasted root vegetables.

Cooking Tip: Grass-fed beef can be leaner than conventional beef, so gentle, moist cooking helps keep short ribs tender. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs. For the best results, cook until the meat is fork-tender rather than relying on time alone.

Whether you're making a traditional braised beef dinner or slow-smoked barbecue, our locally raised grass-fed beef short ribs bring hearty, satisfying flavor to your table.
