The Giant Short Rib, Thursday Night Special @ Wood Ranch

The Certified Angus Beef Short Rib, Only at Wood Ranch

Bet You Can't Eat More Than One

 

This is the Certified Angus Beef Short Rib that gave Fred Flintstone "rib envy."  We started experimenting with this short rib about nine months ago, but the cost of the item went up so much that we weren't able to offer it until the end of last year.  This is for the true BBQ aficionado.  

We experimented with different smoking woods and different levels of smoke before finally deciding on pecan.  Of course, before we put the ribs in the smoker, we put a generous amount of our own dry rub on it and allow the spices to penetrate the meat.  We then put the ribs in the smoker for about seven hours.  They become remarkably tender.

One of the challenges in offering a dish like a Giant Short Rib is explaining to the guest why there's "only" one rib.  Of course, once they see the one rib, everyone gets it.  The meat on this short rib, like on most short ribs, is extraordinarily heavily marbled.  The flavor is very beefy and rich.  The way I like to explain just how rich is to say that "rib eye and prime rib are green vegetables compared to this short rib."

If you're a true lover of BBQ, you'll really enjoy this dish.  Right now, all Wood Ranch restaurants are offering the Giant Short Rib as a Thursday night special.  Some of our locations have it on more than one day.  Dinner only.  Served with one side.  $24.95 at most locations.  I think you'll be happy.
