Short Ribs
Short Ribs are considered one of the most luxurious slow-cooking cuts, prized in both home kitchens and high-end restaurants. They come from the rib section of the animal and are known for their heavy marbling, deep beefy flavor, and generous thickness. Because of their structure, they contain both rich meat and a significant amount of connective tissue, which transforms during long, slow cooking. With enough time, the fat melts, the tissue softens, and the meat becomes incredibly tender. This balance of richness and tenderness makes Short Ribs an impressive and comforting dish all at once, perfect for serving at a celebratory occasion, whether hosting a Sheva Brachos or a festive Yom Tov meal.
