  • Optional: I like to immediately submerge the bag into an ice bath so that the fats are reabsorbed back into the meat fibers.
  • Refrigerate the meat in the bag to eat later, or immediately finish the meat as follows. Pour the contents of the bag (short ribs and juices) into a large skillet.

Notes

    • Beef short ribs tend to be pretty fatty which is why they are so tasty. If desired, peel off the excess fat after cooking, not before. The fat will render out during cooking to give a tender short rib texture. 
    • I love to cook this recipe on the weekend or when I have extra time. Then, I refrigerate until I'm ready to serve. Place the cooked short ribs in a skillet on low until the juices release and it begins to simmer. To get a thicker gravy, bring to a boil until reduced. 
    • For a fatty cut of meat, I like to immediately submerge the bag of meat in an ice bath after cooking. This helps the fat reabsorb into the meat fibers, giving a more tender texture. This step is optional.
