About this cut
These flavorful pieces are cut from well-marbled sections of the chuck, and can be prepared the same way as any short rib recipe. They'll do nicely when seared to build flavor and then braised until tender. You can cut the pieces down to individual portion size before, or after, cooking, if you don't want to serve as strips. Meat will shrink to approximately 2/3 size of the raw pieces as they cook.
Basic Cooking Technique:
Sear, then braise low and slow.

Additional Info
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Short ribs
Great flavor. Slow cooked the short ribs in a tangy Asian marinade.

Used this for a Pesach cholent. Excellent!
Never used the cholent recipe or beef cut before trying for the Chag. Will definitely make both but I’m not waiting for Pesach!

Tender, delicious new cut
I decided to try this newly available cut for one of my Pesach meals. I cooked it sous vide for 24 hours or so at 134 (would have left it longer, but meals plans changed and needed it earlier), and finished it with a generous sprinkling of sea salt and seared on a very hot grill. The meat was delicious and a real hit around the table. It was very tender and flavorful and enjoyed by those who prefer both more rare and more done beef. It is not as rich/heavy as actual short rib meat, so it worked better into a large meal. And the few leftover slices were excellent when reheated a couple of days later. I'll definitely get these again.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
---|---|
under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
