How to Cook Flanken-Cut Short Ribs: Slow Cooking for Maximum Tenderness & Flavor

Flanken-cut short ribs are rich, meaty, high in collagen and connective tissue therefore and perfect for slow cooking. Braising or slow-cooking transforms this cut into tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat full of flavor.

---

Why Slow Cooking or Braising?

Flanken-cut short ribs are a slow-cooking cut due to their high content of connective tissue, collagen and marbled fat. Slow cooking:

• Breaks Down Collagen and Connective Tissue Fibers: Low Heat and time allow the collagen and connective tissue to dissolve into gelatin, creating tender meat.
• Enhances Flavor: The bones and fat infuse the meat with deep, rich flavor as they cook.
• Absorbs Marinades and Liquids: Perfect for bold, hearty recipes.

Simple Braised Flanken-Cut Short Ribs Recipe #1

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds flanken-cut short ribs (about 1/2-inch thick slices)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/2 large onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups beef stock (or water)
• 1/4 cup red wine or soy sauce (optional)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 sprig fresh thyme)
  
  

---

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Ribs

1. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Build the Braising Liquid

1. In your slow cooker, Dutch oven, or Instant Pot, layer the onion and garlic at the bottom.
2. Mix the beef stock, red wine (if using), tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme in a bowl, then pour over the onions and garlic.

Step 3: Add the Ribs

1. Place the ribs into the pot, ensuring the liquid covers about 2/3 of the meat (add more stock if needed).

Step 4: Choose Your Cooking Method

• Slow Cooker: Cook on Low for 6–7 hours or on High for 4–5 hours until the ribs are tender.
  
  
• Stovetop: Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently for 3 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid doesn’t evaporate. Add water or stock as needed.
  
  
• Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker): Set to High Pressure and cook for 30–35 minutes. Allow a 10–15 minute natural pressure release, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  
  

Step 5: Check for Doneness

• The ribs are ready when fork-tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 6: Optional – Reduce the Sauce

• Remove the ribs and simmer the braising liquid over medium-high heat (or use the “Sauté” setting on the Instant Pot) until it thickens into a rich sauce.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

• Serve the ribs over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread, drizzled with the reduced sauce.

How do I Know When The Ribs are Done?

When slow cooked cooked in a braising liquid, you will know when the Flanken Style Beef Short Ribs are done by using a fork to prod the short ribs. When the ribs are soft, tender, and fall off the bone/ moist - serve and enjoy this wonderful beef cut!

 

*IMPORTANT:

 The biggest mistake when cooking Flanken Cut Short Ribs is frying it on a pan or dry heat sources like grill/ oven on high heat or using dry heat to cook it too quickly.

 

Some folks assume that because it is a long and relatively thin cut, short ribs will cook on the pan in a few minutes, like bacon. Please avoid this. The collagen, fat, and connective tissue need lots of time to soften through by slow cooking :)
