Product Details
Most short ribs cook fine. These come out rich, tender, and mouthwatering.
Our grass fed short ribs come from cattle raised on open Alabama pasture, grass-fed and grain-finished, never sent to a feedlot. Every rack is dry aged for 28 days, so the flavor and tenderness are already built in before it ever touches heat. The bone stays in because that is where the collagen, marrow, and depth of the flavor actually come from.
Our Grass Fed Short Ribs Promise:
- 28-day dry aged for deeper flavor and fall-off-the-bone tenderness
- Grass-fed and grain-finished on an Alabama pasture
- Bone-in only for deeper flavor
- No antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines
- No injections or tenderizing chemicals
- Flash frozen and vacuum sealed for 12 to 18 months
- Available in up to 2 lb and 2+ lb portions
- Ships directly from our ranch and no middlemen
Best for Braising or Slow Cooking
Low and slow is where these shine. Six to eight hours in a slow cooker with broth and aromatics, or a Dutch oven braise at 325°F for about 3 hours after a hard sear. The dry aging has already done part of the work, so the result is rich, tender, and worth every hour it takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions
What makes Diamond D Ranch grass fed short ribs different from store-bought?
These bone-in short ribs are all-natural Alabama beef that has been dry-aged for up to 28 days to develop a deep, beef-forward richness. Unlike store-bought options, they are raised without antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines and are grass-fed and non-GMO grain finished on a family-owned ranch.
Why are these ribs sold with the bone in?
Keeping the bone intact is a deliberate choice to add a deeper, fuller beef flavor to your meal. The bone also helps with moisture retention during the long cooking process, ensuring the meat reaches that classic, comforting "fall-off-the-bone" texture.
What is the best way to cook these short ribs?
These ribs are a "low and slow" cut that rewards patience and gentle heat. We recommend several "hassle-free" methods:
• Crockpot: Slow-cook with red wine, garlic, and rosemary for 4–8 hours until tender.
• Oven-Braising: Sear the ribs first, then bake covered with balsamic vinegar and beef broth at 325°F for about 3 hours.
• Smoker: Rub with seasoning and smoke at 225°F for 5–6 hours until they reach an internal temperature of approximately 200°F.
Where on the cow do short ribs come from?
Short ribs are located in the plate section, which sits below the rib. This is a rich, fatty section of the cow that also includes the skirt steak.
How long can I store these ribs in my freezer?
Because the ribs are vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen at peak freshness, they will last between 12 and 18 months in a home freezer without any flavor loss or freezer burn.
