Costco boneless "short ribs". Fast or slow cook?

It’s been a while since I bought those boneless “short Ribs” at Costco. Yeah they come from the chuck. I have braised them and done them SV. These days I look for a well marbled chuck roast which is often less per pound for similar braising applications. Also good for grinding into a burger blend

Bought some, froze then defrosted some, and going to try sous vide at 131 for 48 hours. 72 hours always smells too “funky” to me.

These pics are from November. The short ribs from Costco made for an outstanding 8-hour slow cooker Thai Red Curry. One of the best meals I’ve ever had it my life, prepared by my BF.

Thank you! That sounds perfect. I am doing that! If you are recommending a certain recipe, please share.

I don’t have a recipe, but it contained red curry paste, lots of fresh ginger and garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, and chili-garlic sauce (I think Lee Kum Kee, or a similar looking brand).

Pan sear and toss in slow cooker for about eight hours.

(FYI: the sauce also works as a marinade for grilled chicken and steaks).

The recipes I’m finding include coconut milk…which I love! Does yours?

He did not use coconut milk but I can’t see that doing any harm. I’m not sure if he used an actual recipe or did it off the top of his head.

What I do know is that your house will be filled with a mouth-watering aroma for hours!

Do you know what’s in the red curry paste? I can buy some, but I’ve got so much stuff!

We used a jar version. I think it was Thai Kitchen.

Good luck! Please post pics!

I ended up on a Country Square adventure I will post elsewhere.

So far;

I didn’t see the usual green and red curry paste, but these looked good. Which one? I got the penang. When you open the container, it is in a vaccum sealed bag; stiffer than I anticipated. I used it as a rub.

I WAS going to make the paste myself,

but no. I got distracted. Including more live Dungeness crabs!

Yes to the green beans, and the fresh pork shank with skin!

Here is the rubbed beef.

You’re off to a good start!

I’m sure Penang is fine, but the Thai restaurant by me makes a killer Massaman Curry short rib. Just sayin’.

Looks delicious! How was it???

The sauce was delicious, I felt the meat texture was to my liking, pieces probably should have been cut smaller, husband wasn’t sure that beef was suitable. I will probably report back after trying it as a leftover.

Those “short ribs” look outstanding. I suspect flap meat. I picked up some cuts that looked like that from BJ’s. Forgot what they called them but there are intensely marbled. Figured a braise would work well but also a low and slow smoke could yield excellent results

I bought this today at Costco. As an Argentine master grill I don’t think this is gonna be good if I cook it Argie style :roll_eyes:
