Food safety

Caution: medium

Avoid cross-contamination from raw beef. The ribs should reach at least 63°C internally and will normally become tender at a substantially higher temperature during braising. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow containers and reheat to 74°C.

Risk factors

  • raw beef handling
  • hot oil during searing
  • heavy covered cookware
  • long low-temperature cooking
  • cooling and storage of leftovers
