Prime Beef Short Ribs (Jacob’s Ladder)

Rich, intensely beefy, and built for low-and-slow perfection. Cut from the belly, these thick-cut ribs feature generous layers of tender meat wrapped around the bone, heavily marbled with succulent fat that gently melts as it braises.

Give them time in the oven, smoker, or slow cooker, and that dense marbling breaks down into a rich, velvety sauce, yielding deeply savoury, fall-off-the-bone meat you can shred with a spoon.
