If phenomenally juicy, delicately textured, extraordinarily flavorful meat is what you’re after, going sous vide is one sure-fire way to get there. However, not many of us have the equipment or the time necessary to facilitate the entire sous vide process. That’s why fully cooked, heat-and-serve entrée options like Trader Joe’s Balsamic Glazed Bone-In Beef Short Ribs are such a life-saver. They’re made especially for us by a suppler who smothers each set of hearty, savory Short Ribs in a rich, umami-tinged Balsamic Glaze, seals them in a vacuum-tight bag, then cooks them at low temperatures for twelve whole hours, until they’re tantalizingly tender. With all that taken care of for you, all that’s needed on your end is to heat them in the oven or stovetop — and to pick out a suitably delicious side to serve them with, of course.

We recommend something creamy, but slightly mild, like mashed Yukon Gold potatoes with plenty of butter or silky creamed spinach. As far as wine goes, we find that with their big, bold, sweet & savory flavors and to-die- for texture, our sensationally seasonal Balsamic Glazed Short Ribs make a perfect match with juicy, jammy reds like Cabernet and Amarone. And at such a remarkable value, they make a great option for a holiday potluck, friendsgiving feast, or any old weeknight when you want something that’s a litte extravagant without a whole lot of effort.
