Carnivore Slow-Cooked Beef Short Ribs
Description
Beef short ribs are browned in tallow and slowly cooked with bone broth until exceptionally tender. The natural fat and collagen create a rich cooking liquor without flour, vegetables or other conventional braising ingredients.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 150°C.
-
Pat the beef short ribs dry and season them evenly with salt.
-
Heat the beef tallow in a heavy ovenproof casserole over high heat.
-
Add the short ribs in batches if necessary and brown thoroughly on every side.
-
Return all the ribs to the casserole and pour in the beef bone broth.
-
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
-
Cover the casserole tightly and transfer it to the oven.
-
Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender and pulls easily away from the bone.
-
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow the ribs to rest in their cooking juices for 10 minutes.
-
Serve the ribs with some of the concentrated cooking juices spooned over the meat.
Note
Choose well-marbled short ribs because the fat and connective tissue are important to the final texture of the dish.
Use a bone broth without vegetables, sugar or plant-based flavourings when following a strict carnivore diet.
The cooking juices can be reduced after removing the ribs if a stronger, thicker meat sauce is preferred.
