Our short ribs deliver an intense experience of full meaty flavour, not for the faint hearted.
Beef short ribs come with a variety of names: beef flat ribs, slab ribs, Jacob’s ladder, dandy ribs, slow-roast ribs… but whatever you call them they’re substantial and they taste fantastic.
Short ribs are a surprisingly versatile cut of beef. I love to slow cook them – left long and low in the oven (2-3 hours at least) and the meat will fall off the bone with a wonderful rich, beefy tenderness thanks to their high collagen content. Equally, they work brilliantly in a slow-cooked curry on the hob, or smoked on the BBQ.
Beef Short Ribs sit next to the classic ‘rib of beef’ in the carcass. We always dry-age the whole carcass for a minimum of five weeks before we bone out the ribs from these wonderful, traditional-breed cattle, grass fed on our lush Suffolk pasture.
Each single rib should feed one (or two for small appetites) and weigh around 450g.

Gerard's Suggestion
Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, who slowly matures her 100% grass-fed Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm to produce exceptional beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
> Slow cook, BBQ, and Braising
1. Season the ribs as you would like with salt and pepper and then rub in some herbs and spices.
2. Cover and pop in a low oven for four hours.
Alternatively a Keralan curry is good for short ribs, as are Thai red curries or an Indonesian rendang. Braise the short ribs before adding your spices and put in the oven for a good four hours on a low heat.
