Beef ribs might not be an everyday meal for everyone, but when prepared right, they can become a family favorite. Like many, I used to associate beef ribs with meatloaf and hamburgers – dishes that, while classic, didn’t always excite me. Steak, with its specific cooking preferences, also felt a bit limiting. However, my perspective completely changed when my husband brought home beef short ribs one Friday. Initially met with a bit of skepticism, I promised to cook them, driven by curiosity and the desire to try something new.
