This short rib steak comes from the chuck and is bone-in. Chuck short ribs are usually braised, smoked or used for stew. The Morgan Ranch Beef short rib can treated and prepared like regular steak. It has excellent marbling and comes with plenty of flavor. Too good to braise.
In our presentation, we simply cooked the steak in the cast iron skillet and served it with simple vegetables.

Completely defrost the steak in the fridge and shortly before cooking, open the pack and let the steak "breathe" at room temperature for a couple of minutes.
As a simple garnish, you can make your own simplified Chimichurri sauce. You need olive oil, shallot, red bell pepper, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, sea salt, fresh, fresh parsley and fresh oregano (or basil) and if you like add cilantro. Chop all into fine pieces and mix with olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt until the taste is of preference. Easy.
The short rib medallion is best braised but simple grilling or cooking in a skillet is also possible - although due to the connective tissues may be tougher. But nonetheless, this small steak is rich in flavor.
Cook very slowly using non-salted high-quality butter without additives. Make sure to turn the steak many times. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. If you want to add taste, ad a garlic knob cut in half. Asparagus is a nice addition, add to the skillet close to the end of cooking the steak.
Once the core temperature has reached 52 degrees Celsius or 125 degrees Fahrenheit take the steak off the heat and place it on the cutting board.
Remember, the steak will continue to cook as it rests. The internal temperature will rise by a few degrees even after it has been taken off the heat. Slice for presentation and sprinkle with a little bit of sea salt.
Use the simplified version of the Argentinian Chimichurri sauce to garnish each slice. Makes great finger-food at a gathering.
