HELP beef ribs
Does anyone have a good recipe using beef ribs..I bought some on sale and
cooked one slab already..I put them on the BBQ and cooked them slow while basting with bbq sauce. I found them kind of tough and greasy. I have one more slab left in the freezer and i was wondering if anyone had any other ideas on how to cook them? I am use to cooking pork ribs not beef. HELP!! MJ |

If they are the Big ones at 99 cents per pound stick them in the oven or on a grill until cooked then give them to the dogs or cook them until almost burnt and make stock. Dimitri |

(I haven't cooked beef ribs before, but I often roast *very* tough pieces of meat.) I would put them in an electric roaster at 300° for however many hours it takes for them to get tender. Something magic happens with another hour or two of slow cooking beyond "well done". Best regards, Bob |

I am use to cooking pork ribs not beef. > HELP!! Beef short ribs are pretty good braised. Cook them as you would a stew by browning them in a heavy pot with some oil, then saute onion, garlic, diced carrot and mushrooms, ass some stock and red wine, then cover and stick it in the oven for a few hours. To make them even better, let them cool after the initial cooking, stick them in the fridge over night and then heat them up again the next day. They should be tender and tasty. Cooling over night should cause the grease to rise to the top and you can spoon it out in chunks. You can remove the meat and thicken the broth too. |

The sauce is what gives them the flavor anyway, IMHO. Cindy > jerking on my flame proof underwear as I run back into the edge of cover. |

The ribs or bones that come from the "standing rib roast" and/or rib steaks are wonderful and a real treat to eat. Its like a slightly fatty steak on a bone. Yum. The large bones they sell on Holidays at 99 cents per pound they are calling "back bones" but if you look they have most of the meat between the bones trimmed away. I think they are a bad value and you'd probably be better off buying steak. There is probably less than 20% meat per pound the other 80% is just bone. That's 3.2 ounces of meat per pound is tat is true that works out to $5.00 per pound for the meat. I just think they are JUNK and should not be sold as ribs Dimitri |

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge: > Does anyone have a good recipe using beef ribs..I bought some on sale and > cooked one slab already..I put them on the BBQ and cooked them slow while > basting with bbq sauce. > I found them kind of tough and greasy. > I have one more slab left in the freezer and i was wondering if anyone had > any other ideas on how to cook them?

The low heat will disolve the tough connective fibers in the meat. |
