Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, herbs, and sometimes a marinade of soy sauce or wine.

How do I store raw costela?

Keep raw costela in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

How long should I marinate costela?

Marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to maximize flavor and tenderness.

I've bought these beef short ribs repeatedly; the quality is good.
채영
I made braised short ribs with this and it was seriously, seriously delicious.. There was a lot of fat, so after removing it, I was left with only about 720 grams across two packs, but the quality of the lean meat is good, and since I simmered it for a long time, it became super tender and chewy ㅠㅠ I think the remaining pack would be delicious if I removed the fat, grilled it, and dipped it in salt. I will definitely buy this again!!

The number of guests I invited suddenly increased, so I hurriedly ordered and served it, and everyone said it was delicious. Now, when it's just the two of us in a two-person family, it's a hassle to buy ribs, wash them, drain the blood, and remove the bone fragments. I repurchased two more packs when they were on sale.

These spare ribs were excellent. After thawing, soak them to remove the blood, drain, add your favorite seasonings, stir, then add a little cornstarch and mix well. Spray with oil to seal in the blood, marinate for 3 hours, then air fry at 425F for 12 minutes (flipping halfway through). They came out very tender and delicious!
