Jayme’s Slow-Cooked Beef Ribs

Ingredients

• 2–3 kg Our Cow Grass Fed Beef Short Ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favourite brand or homemade)
• ½ cup tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional, for a kick)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method

Prep the ribs

Pat the ribs dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Sear for flavour

Heat olive oil in a large pan and sear ribs on all sides until browned. This locks in flavour.

Build the sauce

In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, sugar or honey, and BBQ sauce. Add beef stock and bring to a simmer.

Slow cook

Transfer ribs and sauce to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.

Finish in the oven (Jayme’s tip!)

Preheat oven to 200°C. Place ribs on a baking tray, brush with extra BBQ sauce, and roast for 10–15 minutes until caramelised and sticky.

Serve & enjoy

Plate up with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh slaw. Don’t forget napkins – it’s a hands-on kind of meal!
