In the UK, beef ribs are incredibly cheap. I have no idea why but I’m not complaining! It seems the butchers and supermarkets see these are ‘left over’ bones and can’t sell them so the price is very very low. As you can see on the ribs I’ve used, there is a lot of meat and marbling of the fat which gives the ribs a lovely flavor and is as tender as they come.

I’ve cooked these just in the oven, baked with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar for about 30 minutes to test for tenderness and they are as tender as a rib-eye steak!

For these beef ribs, I’ve served with some of our Creamy Cheesy Mashed Potato and some steamed broccoli. The carrots you see in the photo were cooked in the slow cooker together with the beef ribs to add some extra flavor to the broth. The mashed potato doesn’t take long to make, the recipe gives you a tip if you wanted to make ahead and reheat, so you get it all fluffy and creamy again after it has been chilled. Otherwise, you can make it and serve immediately if your ribs are ready. Creamy Cheesy Mashed Potatoes is a very easy side dish with amazing flavor.
