How to cook it

  • Rib meat wants slow cooking. Brown the strips in a heavy casserole, add onion, garlic and wine or stock to come halfway up, cover, and cook for two and a half to three hours at 150–160 °C (300–320 °F).
  • They are done when the meat slips off the bone discs. No thermometer needed.
  • Sticky ribs: braise as above, brush with barbecue sauce and finish for ten minutes on the grill or at about 200 °C (390 °F).
  • Grilling from raw works only over moderate embers, bone side down most of the time. Yearling beef is lean, and fierce heat toughens it.

Churrasco: clearing up the name

Is churrasco not a Brazilian barbecue?

In Brazil the word covers the whole barbecue. On a Spanish beef label it is this cut: rib strips sawn across the bone. Our short ribs page lists the counter names.

You sell two rib packs. Which is this?

The yearling one, milder and paler. The other, labelled tira de asado, is retinto beef; its card is below.

Is añojo veal?

No. It is yearling beef, which most Spanish shops loosely call ternera: pinker and milder than the mature cow behind a chuletón.
