Short rib

The short rib is a cut of beef that is taken from the rib primal of a cow. This cut is usually considered to be tough because it is a well-exercised muscle; however, when it is cooked properly, short ribs can be very tender and flavorful.

Short ribs have been a part of many different cultures' cuisines for centuries. One of the earliest known recipes comes from ancient Rome, where short ribs were cooked in a dish called jussela. This dish was made by braising the beef in wine and garlic until it was very tender.

In the Middle Ages, short ribs were often cooked in a stew. This was a practical way to cook them, as it tenderized the meat and made it easier to chew. Stews were also a good way to stretch a small amount of meat to feed a large number of people.
