|description=This beef short ribs recipe is great for someone who is going to be out all day. 10 minutes of preparation and then 10 hours of slow cooking
}}


Having discovered a great [[Supplier|supplier]] for my [[Beef short ribs|beef short ribs]] and making [[Barbecue beef short ribs]], I thought I would try other ways of cooking them. As they make such a substantial meal, I just used 2 [[Ribs|ribs]] for 2 people. This meant cutting the now [[Frozen|frozen]] 4 ribs (pictured) in half. You need a clean [[hacksaw]] for this, it's no job for a knife!

Normally I would [[Brown|brown]] the [[Meat|meat]] and [[Onions|onions]], but I thought I would try to make this a speed preparation that you could throw in the [[Slow cooker|slow cooker]] before going out for the day. I'll cook it on low so all the collagen breaks down into lovely [[gravy]].

If you get a chance, it helps to skim any excess [[Fat|fat]] and give it a stir halfway through, however, it will be fine without.

===Chef's notes===
Ask your butcher for '[[beef short ribs]] from the plate', or [[Argentine ribs]]. You don't want back ribs as these are not the same. I understand from talking to a butcher that this particular cut of [[beef]] is also known as 'Jacob's ladder'.

I've found it difficult to obtain [[beef short ribs]] from anywhere but a specialist butchers and even then, they needed to be ordered in advance. I was delighted to discover [[F. Conisbee specialist butchers]] had them in stock. 4 [[Argentine ribs]] for £21.04. Robert cut them in half again lengthwise with the bandsaw. One of these half-ribs per person is plenty!
