my beef short rib radar

9/16/2012

our island has two supermarkets with good meat dept.'s and butchers who are friendly and always up for custom orders.  but there's a gazilion ways to carve up the beast and some cuts are harder to find than others. and there's the terminology. sometimes very confusing. spencer steak is a good one. that's an awesome cut of meat. but same cut might be called something totally different in hooterville or podunck. so the beef short rib is more straight forward. and the boneless beef short rib is supreme...
Picture
but they don't sell it here.  only the one with bones. so when i'm out and about on the mainland i keep a cooler in the car and check out meat departments where ever possible. the boneless short rib seems to be more prevalent in supermarkets that serve small, rural, agricultural communities. they freeze well so i stock up.

a quick sugar/soy marinade and stir fry. tacos. ground short rib makes excellent steak tartare. or ground up for the ultimate burger.
