Hoe to Make Beef Chuck Riblets Recipe

Step 1: First, season the riblets evenly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Adad the riblets and cook on all sides until they are browned, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 2: Remove the riblets from the skillet and set them aside. If needed, add a little more oil. Add the chopped onions and cook until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Return the riblets to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4: Cover the skillet and let everything simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, or until the riblets are tender and juicy.

Step 5: Once cooked, remove the riblets from heat and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and sliced green onions, then serve warm.

Storage Tips

Refrigerator: If you have any leftovers, you should properly store them in an airtight container and keep them preserved in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. 

Pro Tips for the Best Beef Chuck Riblets

1. Marinate for Extra Flavor: Even a simple salt and pepper rub can be enhanced by marinating the riblets for 30–60 minutes before cooking. This allows the seasoning to penetrate the meat. Try our meat recipe. 

2. Low and Slow Cooking: Simmering over low heat is key to tender riblets. Avoid high heat, which can make the meat tough.

3. Optional Oven Finish: For an even richer flavor, after simmering, transfer the riblets and sauce to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 20–30 minutes.

4. Rest Before Serving: Let the riblets rest a few minutes after cooking. This helps retain juices and makes them more tender.
