Looking for the perfect beef short ribs recipe for match day? When Scotland face Wales, it’s the ideal excuse to slow cook something rich, tender and packed with flavour.
Beef short ribs are one of the best cuts for long, gentle cooking — transforming into fall-off-the-bone, deeply satisfying comfort food. For this Six Nations fixture, we’ve created two standout dishes: one inspired by Scotland, the other rooted in Welsh flavour.
Scottish Ale & Mustard Glazed Beef Short Ribs
These Scottish beef short ribs are slow-braised in dark ale with wholegrain mustard, creating a bold, savoury depth. As the ribs cook low and slow, the ale reduces into a rich sauce that thickens into a glossy glaze.
This is classic ale braised beef ribs — hearty, warming and perfect served with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered greens.
If you’re searching for a robust, traditional beef short ribs recipe with real character, this is the one to try.
Welsh Red Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs with Leeks & Thyme
For a Welsh twist, our red wine braised beef short ribs combine tender beef with sweet leeks, fresh thyme and a generous pour of full-bodied red wine — we recommend Great Frampton for depth and richness.
Slow cooking allows the wine to reduce into a silky sauce while the beef becomes beautifully tender. The addition of leeks brings a distinctly Welsh identity to this comforting dish.
If you love Welsh-style beef ribs or are looking for a rich Sunday roast alternative, this recipe delivers bold flavour with a refined edge.
Why Beef Short Ribs Are Perfect for Slow Cooking
Beef short ribs are ideal for braising because of their marbling and connective tissue. When cooked low and slow — whether in ale or red wine — they become tender, juicy and full of flavour.
Whether you prefer Scottish ale braised short ribs or Welsh red wine beef ribs, this cut is made for sharing and perfect for feeding a crowd.
