Sassy Short Ribs

We love all things sassy, and these short ribs are no exception. The bold flavor of our Sassy Steak Spice is infused into every bite along with orange marmalade and fresh oregano for an impeccable flavor combination. The great charm in this dish is the layers of flavor developed by adding spices in stages along the way, and finishing with fresh herbs... who says you can't have it all? The melt-in-your-mouth beef is pretty good too.

Sassy Steak Spice

Far more bold and exotic than most traditional steak rubs, our Sassy Steak Spice was born out of a craving for a steak rub with Latin American flair. We've used chipotle flakes and Alderwood smoked salt for smokiness, Mexican oregano for an herbacious feel, and rounded it all out with long pepper, Urfa biber...and, yes, Vietnamese cinnamon.  Our Sassy Steak Spice has quite a few admirers, and will make one out of you, too.
