Easter beef short ribs and breaking a tooth
Beef short ribs apparently aren’t a thing on Good Friday. I’m not really sure why beef is taboo and why everyone goes for seafood. I mean I love seafood but it’s so expensive.
Recipe
This is a simple and easy version of tender fall off the bone beef short ribs. A real winner except that as I was gnawing a little piece of meat off the bone I broke a molar.
- 1 rack Beef short ribs 500 grams
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Red wine
- 1 cup Red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup Maple syrup
- 1 bunch Coriander
- 2 tablespoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Chilli flakes
- ½ head Cabbage
- 1 bunch Broccolini
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 1 piece Capsicum
-
Unwrap the ribs and put them in a roasting tray
-
Pour over the maple syrup, barbeque sauce, red wine and red wine vinegar
-
Add the garlic powder and chilli flakes
-
Place the coriander around the ribs
-
Allow to marinade for 60 minutes
-
Cover the roasting tray with aluminium foil and put into an oven (150 °C/300 °F) for three hours
-
Half an hour before the three hours, cook the cabbage and broccolini in boiling water
-
At three hours remove the roasting tray and uncover, add the boiled vegetables to the roasting tray and return to the oven (200 °C/400 °F) for thirty minutes
-
Remove the roasting tray and allow the ribs to rest for fifteen minutes
-
Plate up the vegetables in a shallow bowl and then add the ribs on top
-
Shoot a photograph and tuck in
-
Finish the vegetables soaked in meat juices first and then eat the meat from the ribs and gnaw the meat that is attached to the bone and break off a tooth and feel quite sad about the amount of money it's going to cost to repair
-
Contemplate life and then smile knowing that it's pay week next week
-
Post the story to Facebook and Twitter and read sympathetic replies and some funny ones about how this is a lesson for eating meat on Good Friday
-
Clean the dishes and wonder just how painful will it be to brush my teeth tonight
-
Further, meditate on the destiny of the large amount of animal flesh that is sitting in my stomach being churned and chemically digested
-
Find solace in the fact that I had cabbage and I'll enjoy farting in bed later tonight
-
I'd love it if you could share this recipe on social media, especially Facebook and Twitter. Thanks!
This was a great meal apart from breaking a tooth. I'd highly recommend it to any meat lover.

For lunch today I made a streaky bacon, pâté and smoked cheese cheeseburger with a hot cross bun.
Breakfast
For breakfast, I had the traditional Good Friday fare of a little toasted hot cross bun with my stick of butter.

Here’s a final look at my dinner and the broken tooth

No meat because of religion for some of us on Fridays during Lent – all the Catholics.
I’m grateful I’m not Roman Catholic. The broken tooth did however stymie me a little. So I added bacon to my soup 😃
I would highly recommend keeping windows open, if you are going to have repercussions from eating cabbage. There is an OTC med called Beano…wonder if that would help.
I love cabbage for just that reason 😂
The ribs look great! Sorry to hear about the tooth Gary! Wow look at that slab of butter in your HCB-that’s what dreams are made of.
Thanks Lorraine, I hope I can get into a dentist next week.
I truly love butter and Good Friday is the perfect day to express my devotion 😃😂🤣
Sorry ’bout the tooth, maybe the tooth fairy will assist in the fixing. Looks like congee and steamed custard for awhile.
Thanks Brother. Good idea on the congee.
I lovery fell off the bone meat
Pot roast too
As Sheldon Always
It’s so good when the meat just falls from the bone. Pot roast is great.
I say it was worth it! You had quite a feast!
I agree Jeff. Thank you.
Good food day Gaz but, breaking a tooth 🙁 From the looks of it, it looks like half the molar came out. Hope it doesn’t hurt now and it’s just a funny feeling in the mouth. Get it checked out soon :/
Thanks Mabel. Hopefully I can call the dentist on Tuesday and get an appointment sometime next week.
Well, that didn’t end very well did it, baked beans on toast for you for the next month so you can line the pockets of your dentist, then again the farting could be a problem.
p.s. Ribs look amazing.
Thanks Joy. Yes I am fortunate next week I get paid. Soft food isn’t too bad. Baked beans is a good idea.
