Montreal Slow-Roasted Short Ribs

1. Prepare Seasoning Mixture

Begin by combining the salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. This mixture will form the base of the seasoning that will penetrate the beef, enhancing its natural flavor with a subtle smoky and garlicky kick.

2. Make Spice Crust

Next, grind the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and allspice berries together. Once ground, rub this aromatic blend thoroughly over the beef’s fat cap until it is well-coated.

3. Refrigerate Overnight

Wrap the seasoned beef tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. During this time, the seasoning will draw out moisture from the beef, allowing the crust to adhere beautifully.

4. Slow Roast Beef

The next day, preheat your oven to 275ºF. Unwrap the beef and place it on a sheet pan. Roast it in the oven for 8 hours.

5. Rest and Slice Beef

Once the roasting is complete, let the beef rest for up to an hour. After resting, carefully remove the bones and cartilage, then slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.

6. Assemble the Sandwich

Finally, assemble your sandwich. Layer the succulent beef slices onto rye bread and spread with dark mustard.
