This is what our resident chef Jan has to say about this tasty cut. Find out more about her top meat tips in our interview below.

“One of the most flavoursome cuts of beef with all the goodness that comes from being cooked on the bone. The ribs come from the forequarter after the brisket has been removed. Short rib appreciates a marinade (2 to 24 hrs) and is another cut that benefits from low, slow cooking.”

Jan’s Meat Cooking Tips

Meet Jan, Waipawa Butchery Kitchen’s culinary genius.

Our ready-meal magician Jan has worked for Waipawa Butchery for the past 4.5 years and is currently heading up our Waipawa Butchery Kitchen. We caught up with Jan to talk WBK and seek her expert meat purchasing and preparing advice.

The worst ‘meat crime’ you’ve seen.

The worst meat crime is buying the same thing every time you shop. Ask the in-store experts for recommendations and advice. Try the blue cheese sausage, do a Kransky hotdog, or cook a tri-tip steak or a lamb rump. Never tried skirt steak…it’s great for tacos.

A favourite cut of meat to cook.

Cap on lamb rump, it’s such a versatile cut. A nice fat cap for flavour. Sear on both sides in a heavy pan. Finish in the oven, it takes any flavours you throw at it. Finish with lemon olive oil, salt and pepper and serve sliced over Greek salad – or head to the middle east with pomegranate molasses and giant couscous with parsley, coriander & mint.

The best thing about working in the Butchery.

A busy day, classic old tunes on the radio, beef being broken down, sausages made, patties pressed, tall tales, camaraderie and happy customers.
