First Light Wagyu Short Ribs (half rack)

This is a half rack of 100% grass-fed wagyu short ribs from First Light Farms in New Zealand, the first group of farmers to ever raise wagyu on exclusively grass. This half rack was cut through the middle of the rib (see the picture). You will receive one half rack (not 2 as in the picture, which is intended to show the direction of the cut). Short ribs are incredible for barbecuing, braising, roasting, or even popped into the sous vide. The sky is the limit with short ribs, which are known for being a tender and and incredibly flavorful cut due to the fat (marbling) content. If you need to impress with some short rib, this is your meat 👨🏻‍🍳 Read below about why First Light Farms' 100% grass-fed wagyu beef is so special. -- "Like steak with headphones on." That's Mark Schatzker, author of Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef, describing our new 100% grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms in New Zealand - what he considers to be the best beef in the world. We agree. Why? First Light were the first farmers in the world to marry the incredible marbling that wagyu genetics can deliver with a 100% grass-fed diet on lush New Zealand grassland & healthy soils. That means you get the deep, sweet, nutty flavor of wagyu - developed by a lifelong of grazing healthy pasture - accentuated by rich, natural marbling. It took a decade of fine-tuning the process, but First Light nailed it. The end result is beef that is both incredibly delicious (winners of the World Steak Challenge for 4 out of the last 5 years) AND incredibly healthy - First Light's beef tested at an incredible 1:1.3 omega 3 to 6 fatty acid ratio, a basically perfect score, meaning that this very nutrient-dense meat will not cause inflammation. (In fact, it was the healthiest ratio ever tested by the lab at the University of Toronto - which is not surprising given that grain-fed beef typically ranges from 1:9 to 1:25.)
