Four Tips for Choosing the Perfect Fried Ribs at the Butcher’s Shop
The finest rib roast makes a great holiday dinner, but it doesn’t come cheap. Here are some tips to help you save money.
In this video from ChefSteps YouTube, Chef Grant Crilly explains how to make the perfect chopped rib. Here’s what you should ask your local butcher:
- Ask for a three-pit rib roast.
- Ask for the end of the chuck, not the loin.
- Ask for it to be bone.
- Ask them in French if you want everything to look pretty.
A piece of fresh rib that meets these criteria will be flavorful, tender, and a fantastic dish. Best of all, most butchers won’t charge you extra if you ask, especially if you know how to speak their language . If you don’t know how to cook a main rib, Crilly will also show you how to cook one sous vide in the video.
