Prather Ranch Beef Ribs

Wandering through the Ferry Building after my workout today, I saw a sign in front of the Prather Ranch store that said "1/2 off beef ribs." Intrigued, I stopped to ask the details. Turns out I was at the store so close to closing that Carter was willing to give me an extra sweet deal!

Behold, FIVE pounds of grass fed beef for under $8! It's really the steal of the year for me in terms of beef. I can't often afford grass fed beef, but next to buffalo it is the best for flavor.

Look at how beautiful this is right out of the package. This was the smallest and thinnest of the three slabs I got, and I didn't bother trimming it at all. For me, the sign of good beef is this: the meat is bright red, it's not dripping with any funny liquid, and it already has a fragrant beefy smell before it's cooked.

Since we were pressed for time and dealing with a very small rib tonight, we just baked it in the toaster oven with a little salt and pepper for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees and chewed the meat straight off the bones. My inner carnivore rejoiced; I really do love beef more than any other kind of meat.
