Beef Short Ribs
Short ribs are a richly marbled, flavorful cut from the lower portion of the cow’s rib cage. Known for their deep beefy taste and tender texture when slow-cooked, short ribs are perfect for braising, smoking, or low-and-slow oven roasting. The meat becomes exceptionally tender while retaining intense flavor, making it a family favorite for hearty meals.
This cut comes from our Dexter cattle, a heritage breed well-suited to pasture-based systems. Raised at Growing Roots Farm using rotational grazing practices, our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, delivering naturally flavorful meat without added hormones or antibiotics.
