The irresistible BBQ showstopper, hand-prepared from premium bone-in short ribs for rich, consistent fat marbling that delivers deeper, more tender results than brisket point. These cuts transform through the classic low-and-slow smoke, sauce, and re-smoke process, creating those crave-worthy, caramelised, smoky bites bursting with intense beefy flavour, melt-in-the-mouth tenderness, and sticky, bark perfection.
Sourced from the finest UK, EU, and AU origin beef, expertly handled by our family butcher team with over 100 years of tradition, these short rib burnt ends are the ultimate choice for pitmasters and BBQ lovers seeking exceptional richness and depth. Ideal for smoking sessions, backyard feasts, or turning any gathering into a flavour-packed celebration, a true crowd-pleaser that brings serious indulgence with effortless low-and-slow magic.
Available in generous 1kg packs - bone-in, trimmed, and ready for your smoker or BBQ. Serves 2-4 people depending on appetites; arrives fresh and suitable for freezing.
Bring the ribs to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and apply a generous dry rub with sea salt, black pepper, and your favourite BBQ spices for that perfect bark.
Smoke low and slow on your BBQ/smoker at 110-135°C (225-275°F) for 3-5 hours initially (or until a nice bark forms and internal temp reaches around 70-75°C), then cube into burnt ends, toss in sauce, and return to smoke for another 1-2 hours until probe-tender and caramelised (target 95-100°C internal). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered (or in a cooler) for 30-60 minutes, this lets the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness and smoky flavour explosion.
Serve as bite-sized burnt ends straight from the smoker or pull for sharing platters.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply to highlight the rich, smoky depth and tender marbling, or glaze with your favourite BBQ sauce, bourbon glaze, or spicy rub, pair with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, pickles, or beans for the ultimate BBQ feast.
