Beef Choice for Wedding Short Rib
Steak or Braised Short Ribs?
We're starting to think nearly our menu and right now we're trying to decide on our beef entree. It's between red wine braised *boneless* brusque ribs or steak (prime rib or filet mignon). The steaks would all accept to be cooked the aforementioned temp, which would be medium. Then, equally a guest would you prefer a medium-cooked steak or braised boneless short ribs?

We're having ale-braised beef short ribs so I might be a bit biased, but we went that route because they were so tender and delicious when we had them at our tasting. Plus, you don't take to worry about the cooking temperature. Some people won't touch on steak if there's any pink in it.

Ale-braised sounds really good!
I guess the steaks could exist cooked medium-well also. But theres bound to be someone who would adopt rare.

Short ribs! I prefer my steaks medium rare, and when about places cook to medium they're actually pushing toward medium well.

Probably the short ribs. Steak temp is hard and when they say medium it's usually medium-well. If it was a prime rib etching station that's different since they will have all temperatures on slices available.

Short ribs volition be easier because everyone likes their steak cooked to a different temp.

I idea nosotros would exercise brusk ribs but at a tasting, while they were delicious, they had quite a heavy experience to them in my opinion. Our wedding is in July so I opted for the filet but if we had a fall or winter wedding ceremony I may have went with them instead.

Short ribs because like others have said if guests have a temperature preference for their steaks they may not enjoy it if they have no say in how their steak is prepared. I have family who eats steak well done (i know, it's terrible) so they would not enjoy a steak cooked medium.

So many people are picky about how they similar their steak cooked. Is possible to have them ALL medium-well? Or does it has to exist medium?
If and so, I would practice the braised rib.

Yes, I can do medium well, but tuenntjeud probably end up being closer to well.

We're facing a similar determination! Personally I would eat a steak served medium (just preferably mid rare); all the same, I know not anybody enjoys their steak cooked to that temp. Apparently (at least at my venue) they could put steaks back on the grill to cook them farther, but I'd rather serve something other than steak all together than accept guests have to send their meals back to go brought up to temp. FH is likewise a chef and used to work at a steakhouse (and has invited some of his old coworkers) and then we're under a lot of pressure level to get it right 😅

Short ribs for certain! Steaks are and then personal to the person, that if they like a well done steak or medium rare, they most probable wouldn't swallow it. Plus, short ribs are delicious!

Short ribs- Our caterer said they discouraged steaks because information technology would exist hard to brand them to everyone'southward liking. Plus they have to make them in advance for so many people and when they put them in the hot box, information technology would "melt" them even more than. And then they usually come out tough and well done rather than medium. They said if the helpmate and groom want steaks they tin can adjust that no problem since information technology merely for 2 people. Just offering other options for guests.

I prefer steak over short ribs, but for a wedding, go with the ribs. I prefer my steaks to be on the rarer side and do not find the meat enjoyable if it's cooked higher up medium rare. The worst wedding food I've ever had was a steak, and so I'd err on the side of temperature caution.
