Phew, I got away with it again!

I also like the beef short rib. Salt on top in the oven with tinfoil on the top - long and low drain off loverly liquid fat that has rendered out ( save for Sundays spuds) then foil off to get a crispy top.

Beef short ribs have only become popular recently. They used to be sold as a joint called 'thin rib', but it wasn't well known and was usually turned into mince. More latterly it has been poshed up and called 'Jacob's ladder'. Some farmers used to call it ovenbuster because of the way it expanded when cooked.

I went through a phase about twenty years ago of researching and trying lots of different cuts of beef.

On my diagram, for instance, the joint which is usually called top rump is called thick flank. And the one labelled flank is where beef skirt comes from. Interestingly, the silverside is often split into two joints down a seam of gristle, and the smaller one is called the 'salmon cut'.
