Product description

⭐ great taste® 2022

Jacob's Ladder Beef Ribs are short sections cut from the bones that extend from the classic fore-rib of beef, left bone-in to maximise flavour. They boast delicious, rich meat laced with high-quality fat to ensure tenderness and a melt-in-the-mouth texture.

great taste® commented:
"Looks absolutely gorgeous, a feast for the eyes, great amount of fat. Great to have the bones, giving it a 'Desperate Dan' look about it, but also adding flavour. Delicious full bodied aroma. Great beefy flavour, fat melts in the mouth, very moist. A lot of care has been put into producing this beef. Amazing quality. Lots of great flavours coming through.

Spectacular looking cut of beef* that has been neatly butchered and shows a good ratio of meat to fat to bone. The meat caramelises well and gives off a rich enticing meaty aroma. The fat has an excellent golden yellow colour and brings plenty of sweet meadow flavour. The beef is rich in flavour has a slight sweetness and leaves the mouth feeling truly satisfied.

What a seriously impressive looking piece of meat. As we carve it, the juices are flowing out of it and the aromas of beef make our mouths water, the cross-section with meat and fat layers looks so impressive. On tasting, the texture of the meat is excellent and the fat melts in the mouth. The flavours are clean and buttery, with a long pleasantly beefy finish."

Jorge Thomas, Swaledale's founder, says:
"Jacob's Ladder, cut from the short rib plate of the beast, often has the top muscle and fat removed. At Swaledale, we leave the upper muscle on - in part due to the dimensions of our smaller breeds of native cattle.

I've smoked them with success - I know some of the great smoking restaurants we work with advocate wrapping the beef in greaseproof paper once an initial 'bark' has been achieved, for both short-ribs and briskets. Whilst this may seem counterintuitive, given this is a barrier to the smoke, in reality it takes a good while for the bark to form, so the resulting texture is much more moist."

Alternatively, slow roast Jacob’s Ladder Beef Ribs Mexican-style. Dry rub the night before with ancho chilli powder, cumin seeds, a touch of brown sugar, and dried oregano. Then add star anise, chipotle chillies, and a little homemade beef stock recipe to the tray and roast with a lid on for 3-4 hours. Reduce the liquid left in the tray, shred the meat from the bones, and combine. Perfect in tacos, with a sharp, coriander-heavy salsa.

*Swaledale beef is heritage breed and raised on independent farms and smallholdings dotted around the wildly beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Slow grown and free to roam on the swath of green hills and valleys; the result is exceptional tasting beef with an umami taste - rich, dense and flavourful. Swaledale Jacob's Ladder Beef Ribs are Always Fresh Never Frozen®, butchered to order, vacuum packed, and shipped in recyclable packaging to arrive safely insulated and ready to enjoy.

Ingredients

Grass-fed, heritage breed beef slow grown to maturity on the lush, green pastures of the Yorkshire Dales. Dry-aged on the bone for >28 days.

Cooking advice

A detailed guide on how to cook Jacob's Ladder Beef Ribs is available on our journal. These ribs require a long, slow cook until the meat is falling off the bone and the interconnective fats and tissues are soft and yielding. Braising is one of the best methods to achieve this; try George Ryle's Jacob’s Ladder Beef Ribs recipe braised in Oloroso with fried potatoes. The beef is slowly braised with Oloroso sherry, which imparts a beautiful, distinctive nutty flavour, and the vegetables from the braise are then blitzed to thicken the sauce.
