About This Cut
Short ribs come from the rib section, one of the most marbled areas on the steer. Unlike the leaner muscles surrounding the loin, the rib section carries layers of fat between and within the muscle groups. That fat is what makes short ribs a slow-cook cut worth planning for. Given time and low heat, it breaks down into the braising liquid and produces a richness that comes from the meat itself, not from anything added to the pan.
Dexter short ribs carry the same genetics and diet advantages as every other cut from the farm. Slower maturity at 30 months allows more fat development in the right places, and a 100% grass-fed and grass-finished diet shapes the character of that fat. Grass-finished fat carries a clean, mineral quality that grain-fed fat doesn’t produce. Combined with dry-aging for a minimum of 14 days, our short ribs arrive with more flavor development than conventionally raised short ribs of the same size.
These cut cleanly off the bone after braising and work across a range of applications, from a classic braise to a smoker to a slow afternoon in a Dutch oven.
COOKING NOTES
Best for: Braising or low and slow smoking.
Thickness: 2-3 inches bone-in.
Prep: Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides in a hot oiled pan before braising.
Braise method: Preheat oven to 300°F. Place seared ribs in a Dutch oven with aromatics and enough liquid to reach halfway up the ribs. Cover tightly and braise 3 to 3.5 hours until the meat pulls easily from the bone.
Tip: The braising liquid reduces into a rich sauce. Skim the fat from the top before serving.

The Breed Behind the Beef
Why Dexter Cattle Produce Better Beef
Most commercial beef comes from breeds selected for rapid growth in feedlot conditions, animals that bulk up quickly on grain but never develop the complex flavor of a slow-maturing, pasture-raised animal.
Dexter cattle are different. A rare heritage breed with roots stretching back centuries, they were bred to thrive on grass rather than grain. Smaller in stature but enormous in flavor, their beef is known for exceptional marbling, rich color, and a depth of taste that reflects the land they were raised on.
When you taste the difference, you’ll understand why we chose them and why we’d choose them again.
Heritage Genetics
Centuries of selection for grass-foraging efficiency. The genetics produce naturally superior marbling without grain feeding.
Slow Growth, Deep Flavor
Commercial cattle reach market weight in 14–18 months on grain. Our Dexters graze freely for 24–30 months, developing fat that reflects their diverse, natural diet.
Better for You, Too
Grass-finished beef is naturally higher in omega-3s, CLA, and vitamins A and E.
How We Farm
The Land Makes the Beef
Regenerative farming is the reason this beef tastes different. When the soil is healthy, the grass is healthy. When the grass is healthy, the cattle are healthy. And when the cattle are healthy, the beef is extraordinary.
