Grass-fed, heritage breed beef, slow-reared to maturity on the lush, green pastures of the Yorkshire Dales. Dry-aged on the bone for over 28 days for deep flavour and exceptional tenderness.

Jorge Thomas, founder of Swaledale, shares his insights:

"I've had great success smoking these short ribs, and many of the excellent barbecue restaurants we supply wrap them in greaseproof paper once the bark has formed. While it may seem counterintuitive to limit smoke exposure, the bark takes time to develop, and wrapping ensures a juicier, more tender result."

For fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs, try low-and-slow cooking methods like smoking, braising, or sous vide, allowing the rich collagen to break down into a silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture.

The following have been published on our journal: detailed guides on How to Cook Beef Short Ribs, How to Smoke Beef Short Ribs, and John Chantarasak's Massaman Curry Recipe featuring beef short rib portions.

Heritage Breed Beef - Slow-Reared in the Yorkshire Dales
At Swaledale, all our beef comes from heritage breeds, raised on independent farms and smallholdings across the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. These cattle are slow-grown and pasture-raised, roaming freely across the lush green hills and valleys, developing the rich marbling that defines truly exceptional beef.

The result? Beef with deep umami flavour - rich, dense, and intensely satisfying. Our Swaledale Beef Short Ribs are Always Fresh, Never Frozen®, expertly butchered to order, vacuum-packed for freshness, and shipped in fully recyclable packaging to ensure they arrive well-insulated and ready to cook.
