Premium Short Ribs in Montreal
Short ribs are perfect for slow cooking and bold flavour. We hand-select each piece for quality marbling, so you get tender results every time. The meat is rich and beefy with deep taste. Furthermore, the bones add extra flavour during braising. At Boucherie Beirut, we cut every piece fresh because quality matters to us.
What Makes Our Short Ribs Special?
At Boucherie Beirut, we source only premium cuts with excellent marbling. Each piece has the right fat ratio, which ensures juicy results. We trim by hand to remove excess fat while keeping enough for flavour. As a result, our ribs stand apart from store options. Furthermore, we prepare everything fresh daily for the best taste.
Cut Profile and Characteristics
This cut comes from the rib section of the animal. The meat is well-marbled with rich, beefy flavour. Bones run through each piece, which adds depth during cooking. The connective tissue breaks down slowly over heat, so you get fork-tender results. Each piece is uniform in size for even cooking. Furthermore, the fat cap bastes the meat as it cooks.

How to Cook Your Short Ribs
First, let the meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Next, season generously with salt and pepper. Then, sear in a hot pan until browned on all sides. Braise at 300°F for 2.5 to 3 hours with broth and aromatics. The meat is done when fork-tender, so test before serving. Finally, rest for 10 minutes, since this keeps juices inside.
Best Pairings for Short Ribs
This cut pairs well with mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables. Serve with crusty bread, so you can soak up the rich sauce. Additionally, creamy polenta and egg noodles make great sides. For a classic meal, add braised greens like kale or collards, since they balance the richness. Furthermore, a red wine reduction sauce adds extra depth and elegance.
