Ruston Butcher Boneless Short Rib is a premium-quality cut of Irish beef, sliced thinly to 3.5mm thickness. This expertly marbled beef is known for its tenderness and succulence, delivering a rich and flavourful experience. Each slice is carefully selected to ensure a balance of meat and fat, which melts during cooking to enhance the juiciness and taste. These thin cuts are perfect for grilling, stir-frying, or preparing popular dishes such as Korean BBQ (Galbi), hot pot, or bulgogi.
These thinly sliced, high-quality Irish beef short ribs are versatile and can be cooked in various ways. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using them:
Preparation
Defrost: If the short rib cuts are frozen, defrost them in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, use the quick-thaw method by placing the sealed package in a bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes.
Pat Dry: After thawing, pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a nice sear when cooking.
Marinating (Optional)
For Korean BBQ or Yakiniku: Marinate the slices in a mix of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes. You can add some grated pear or apple for extra tenderness and flavour.
For Stir-Frying: Use a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a splash of rice wine vinegar. Let it marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
Cooking Methods
Grilling (Korean BBQ/Yakiniku):
Preheat your grill or BBQ to high heat.
Place the short rib slices directly on the grill. Due to their thinness, they cook very quickly—about 1-2 minutes per side.
Grill until both sides are caramelized and have a slight char for the best flavour.
Serve immediately with dipping sauces, rice, and side dishes.
Stir-Frying:
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated short rib slices in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through.
Add vegetables (like bell peppers, onions, and broccoli) and stir-fry together for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Pan-Searing:
Heat a grill pan or regular frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the short rib slices in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned and caramelized.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
Korean BBQ Style: Serve with rice, kimchi, lettuce wraps, and dipping sauces like sesame oil with salt and pepper, or ssamjang (spicy soybean paste).
Stir-Fry: Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Tacos or Wraps: Use the cooked beef slices in tacos or wraps with fresh veggies and sauces for a fusion meal.
Storage
If you have leftover slices, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
Once opened, use the thawed beef within 72 hours.
Tips:
Avoid Overcooking: Due to the thinness of the slices, they cook very quickly. Overcooking can make the beef tough, so keep an eye on it while cooking.
Marinate for Extra Flavour: While the beef is flavourful on its own, marinating adds depth and tenderness to the slices.
This versatile product is perfect for a quick, delicious meal, whether you’re grilling for Korean BBQ or making a hearty stir-fry!
