Red Wine Top of Rib

Using only seven ingredients, our Red Wine Top of the Rib recipe is easy to make and fall-apart delicious! The trick to tenderized meat is to slice it against the grain after the initial cooking process and put it back in the over for a final roast. We highly recommend that you use a red wine that can be enjoyed when your rib is complete; try a full flavored wine such as a Merlot or Shiraz. This will add additional flavor to the dish and will help tenderize your meat.

We used Grow & Behold'sTop of Rib. This cut of meat can be compared to a brisket in terms of its cooking method and texture. The difference is that the top of rib is smaller and more tender. What makes Grow & Behold meats so different is the way they raise their animals. The cattle are raised in an environmentally safe and managed pasture. The majority of the animals' diet is grass-based. These animals are raised by the dozens, not by the thousands. Additionally, all cattle are humanely slaughtered and Glatt Kosher,

Ingredients
1 Top of Rib (4.5 lb)
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce
2 cups of Barbecue Sauce
1 cup of Red Wine
3 tablespoons of garlic powder
3 tablespoons of onion powder
3 tablespoons of paprika

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees
2. Lay on a flat surface the top of rib. Generously coat each side with garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
3. Place the meat in a baking dish. If the meat is too long for the baking pan, you can fold over in order for the top of rib to fit. 
4. Place in the oven for 10 minutes uncovered. 
5. Remove rib from the oven and flip over. Place back in the oven uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. 
6. In a large measuring cup, add 1 cup of red wine and 2 cups of barbecue sauce. Mix well. 
7. Remove rib from the oven. Pour wine mixture over the meat, making sure that it is thoroughly covered in the sauce. 
8. Tightly cover the meat with tin foil, and place back in the oven for 1 hour. 
9. Remove meat from the oven. Flip the rib over and place back in the oven for 30 minutes. 
10. Remove meat from the and slice against the grain. Here's a great article on How to Slice Meat Against the Grain.
11. Place meat back in the over covered for an additional 30 minutes. [Slicing the meat will allow each piece to get absorbed in the sauce].

Garlic Lemon Chicken




We were very excited to work with Joy of Kosher and use Grow & Behold's, Sara's Spring Chicken to make this recipe as their products are known to be of the highest quality. In addition to being Glatt Kosher, Grow & Behold's birds are pasture raised. As soon as the birds are large enough to be moved outside, they spend their entire lives on grass. They live in spacious, movable pens that are moved each day allowing them to access a growing salad bar of natural food. The birds are also fed a special blend of non-GMO food, which enhances its flavors, giving it a fresh and pure taste. When making this recipe, we highly recommend you to order your chicken from Grow & Behold

You can also find this recipe on Joy of Kosher's website.
