Sticky Asian Beef Short Ribs

If you enjoy the robust taste of Australian-reared beef, then it’s time to experiment with some exotic cuisine. Called short ribs because they contain a short length of rib bone, this beef cut is packed with layers of meat and fat, they’re extra tasty and are just perfect for our recipe. 

At Church Street Butcher, we offer beef from cows free to roam on the fresh pasture lands of Tasmania and Victoria, making us a grass-fed butcher reflecting the local values you care about. Our meat has no added hormones and is antibiotic-free, too, so that all you get is fresh, great-tasting meat to give you and your family the best eating experience. 

Think of us as your local ethical online butcher, here for all your everyday meat needs, we service all of Melbourne’s Bayside suburbs! 

So put beef short ribs at the top of your list on your next meat delivery order us. 

Why beef?

Choose beef and you’re opting for a meat that’s rich in vitamin B12, an essential nutrient to keep your blood, brain and nervous system functioning well. Other B vitamins also present help with a range of additional functions, including energy metabolism.

Beef is also abundant in iron and zinc, minerals that play a key role in growth, the immune system and keeping the skin healthy. Then there’s selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps with healthy cognitive function.

Aside from its health benefits, beef is surprisingly versatile. You may be familiar with beef as the main component in roast dishes or stews. But as you’ll see from our recipe, it also lends itself to more exotic cooking, such as these Asian-style short ribs.

So next time you get your fresh meat delivered, add some short ribs of beef and make this delicious recipe. (And if you take care to source your beef from a free-range butcher, you’ll be rewarded with the freshest-tasting meat reared with care.)

Tender, melt-in-the-mouth beef ribs

Cooking your ribs for a long period as set out in our recipe will draw out all the natural flavours from this different choice of meat.

It will also break down the meat’s connective tissue, making the end result moist, tender and literally melt-in-the-mouth.

Save all the flavour and reserve the leftover liquid as a base for a slow-cooked beef stew or a broth with root vegetables added for nutrients and another dimension of flavour.

Side dishes for beef short ribs

In our recipe, we’ve suggested serving these delicious beef ribs with noodles and Asian greens, which can include bok choi, napa cabbage or pea shoots and which can be steamed or stir-fried.

You could also pair our sticky beef ribs with potatoes and tossed salad or with vegetable or jasmine rice.

Finger-lickin’ good!
