Bone-In Short Rib Slab Burger
Slow-Cooked Beef Rib | Spicy BBQ Glaze | Thick Pickles + Mustard Snap
Tagline: “Bite the bone. Taste the throne.”
1. Concept Overview
This is not your average burger—it’s a whole slab of bone-in short rib, slow-braised until tender but structured, then char-grilled or seared to finish. No ground meat. No patty. Just rich beef, one bone, bold crust, layered on a toasted bun with tangy, spicy BBQ sauce, extra-thick pickles, and a sharp mustard kick.
It’s primal. It’s messy. It’s glorious.
2. The Rib Slab (The “Patty”)
Cut:
• English-style bone-in beef short ribs, cut 1.5–2 inches thick
• One rib bone per slab—must have full meat cap and clean bone
Cook (Braise + Grill Method):
• Dry rub with: salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, mustard powder
• Sear both sides hard in cast iron
• Braise low & slow in:
• Bone broth
• Apple cider vinegar
• Tomato paste
• Garlic, onion, bay leaf, thyme
• Dash of hot sauce or chili oil
• Braise until tender but still holding together (~3 hours at 275°F)
• Chill slightly, then grill or pan-sear to crust the exterior
3. Spicy Tangy BBQ Sauce (Brush + Drip)
Base:
• Tomato paste or puree
• Apple cider vinegar
• Mustard
• Garlic + smoked paprika
• Cayenne, black pepper
• Monk fruit or molasses for low-GI sweetness
• Optional: splash of tamarind or lime juice for extra tang
Simmer until thick. Use as both glaze and topping. Brush during final sear.
4. Mustard Sauce (Sharp + Creamy)
Whip up this Midwest-meets-Carolina hybrid:
• Dijon + yellow mustard
• Greek yogurt or avocado mayo
• Apple cider vinegar
• Garlic powder
• Smoked salt
• Optional: horseradish or turmeric
Serve chilled. Adds zip and cream to balance fat + fire.
5. Toppings – Crisp, Acid, Bite
• Thick-sliced dill pickles (crinkle or coin-style)
• Thin white onion rings (raw or lightly brined)
• Optional: pickled jalapeño or banana pepper curls
• Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (for herb lift)
6. Bun + Build
Bun:
