Ingredients

Cooking Method

You’ll need to prepare a couple of items ahead of cooking the final dish, specifically the Highland rub and seaweed pickle, but the rest can be done on the day you’ll be eating the dish.

  • 1
    Highland rub:
  • 2
    Toast all the seeds at 170C for 4mins.
  • 3
    If you have a blender, blitz all the toasted seeds until they are a fine powder then and mix with remaining ingredients.
  • 4
    Seaweed pickle:
  • 5
    Heat the white wine vinegar and mix in the sugar until you have a clear liquid ie the sugar has all dissolved into the vinegar. Add in the water and turmeric and leave to cool.
  • 6
    Cover the seaweed with your pickling liquor and leave to sit for at least 1hr. You can keep this for up to 4 weeks.
  • 7
    Sticky glaze:
  • 8
    First, put all the ingredients for the crazy sticky glaze in a pot and bring to the boil.
  • 9
    Stir then allow this to simmer on low for 5-10 minutes and leave to cool and thicken.
  • 10
    Beef fat crumb:
  • 11
    Dice the fat into small chunks approx 5-10mm cubes.
  • 12
    Add them to a pan with the water and bring to the boil with the lid on.
  • 13
    Reduce the heat and stir the pot every 10mins for the 30mins.
  • 14
    After 45-60mins, most of the fat will be rendered out and you can turn the heat up to crisp the chunks - make sure not to burn.
  • 15
    Pass the liquid and keep the crumb to one side - use the dripping to toast your flat breads.
  • 16
    Kimchi and apple:
  • 17
    Core the apple, dice into matchsticks and mix through the kimchi. You can buy your own kimchi to save time but always best made with your own hands.
  • 18
    FOR EATING:
  • 19
    Mix the Highland rub and the oil together to make slurry or flavour and rub all over the rib.
  • 20
    Leave to marinate for 2-24hrs.
  • 21
    Place some tin foil on a baking tray and carefully wrap the ribs along with the beer in a foil pocket making sure to seal it tight and efficiently.
  • 22
    Leaving a 2cm gap between the two ribs.
  • 23
    Place in the oven at 130C for 5hrs until tender. Make sure the meat falls off the bone - it may need to go in for a further 60mins if its not quite tender enough.
  • 24
    Cover the outside of the rib with wild glaze and sear each side of the meat in a hot frying pan for approx 2mins on each side until the glaze crisps up.
  • 25
    Toast your flatbreads in some beef fat and serve the short rib, sprinkled with beef fat crumb, pickled seaweed along with a good heap of kimchi & apple.
