Otherwise known as beef short ribs, this is a melt-in-the-mouth cut of organic beef when cooked low and slow.
A sticky, sweet marinade does wonders. After trying the famed Jacob's ladder, we doubt it'll be the last time you order this cut!

How To Store
Our Jacobs ladders are delivered fresh in an insulated box. They are butchered fresh to order and will arrive with a 6-day shelf life (including the day of delivery). We recommend for these to be stored below 4 degrees or alternatively, you can pop them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Our Farms & Suppliers
We source our organic beef from our exclusive network of local Devon organic farms. The cows spend their days grazing freely on a wide variety of native grasses, wildflowers and herbs, roaming the fields and resting under the trees. In the winter, they are given homegrown, organic silage and hay to munch throughout the day. We support traditional British cattle breeds that benefit from natural, slow-growing lives and produce beautifully marbled beef. Our beef is then hung for at least 21 days to mature the flavour for tender, flavourful meat. This creates an exceptional flavour and soft texture that is second to none. From our own cured pastrami to slow-roasting joints, we are immensely proud of our organic, pasture-fed beef.
How To Cook
We Recommend:
Braised Jacob's Ladder (Beef Short Ribs)
Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg (3-4 lbs) Jacob’s Ladder (beef short ribs)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 500 ml (2 cups) red wine
- 500 ml (2 cups) beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (or 1-2 teaspoons dried)
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan)/325°F/Gas Mark 3.
-
Prepare the Meat:
- Season: Generously season the Jacob’s Ladder with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Brown the Meat:
- Heat Oil: In a large, oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear: Add the beef ribs to the pot and sear on all sides until browned. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
-
Sauté Vegetables:
- Cook Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add Garlic and Tomato Paste: Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Deglaze the Pot:
- Add Red Wine: Pour in the red wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce: Allow the wine to reduce by about half, which should take 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Stock and Seasonings:
- Combine: Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary or thyme, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
-
Braise:
- Return Meat: Place the browned beef ribs back into the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
- Cover and Cook: Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
-
Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
- Thicken sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with a small amount of water to create a slurry.
- Thicken: About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, stir the slurry into the sauce and continue cooking uncovered until the sauce has thickened.
-
Rest and Serve:
- Rest: Once done, remove the pot from the oven. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Remove Bay Leaves and Herbs: Discard the bay leaves and any herb stems.
-
Serving Suggestions:
- Sides: Serve the Jacob’s Ladder with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce. Roasted vegetables or a green salad make excellent accompaniments.
11. Enjoy: This braised Jacob’s Ladder will be tender, flavourful, and perfect for a comforting meal.

FAQs
Our Meat
Is your meat organic and certified?
At Eversfield Organic we are proud of our Soil Association organic certification. Additionally, we offer Pasture Fed Livestock Association (PFLA) certified (those reared on our farm) and 100% grass-fed (those from surrounding farms) meat, making all our produce trustworthy. In addition, every cut of meat you buy from us can be traced back to the very animal it came from, excellently produced by our skilled ethical butchers.
Do you use antibiotics?
Under organic standards, we will never administer routine antibiotics. However, if any of our animals need medical attention, we will of course act accordingly to get them back up to full health. Animals treated with antibiotics will then see out an extended withdrawal period to make sure antibiotic resistance does not enter the food chain.
How is the meat butchered?
Our organic meat arrives at the farm from small, family-run abattoirs, local to the farm on which the animals were raised to minimise the stress of live travel time. Our butchers carefully prepare the organic beef and lamb for dry aging while organic pork and poultry goes straight into our butchery. We only ever butcher to order – our meat never sits in plastic packaging as we only cut a product from its primal once it has been ordered by a customer.
Our freshly cut organic steaks, roasting joints, mince, sausages and more are all butchered, prepared and packed within 48 hours.

Who delivers my order and when will I know my time slot?
We work with DPD for deliveries and will choose the most efficient delivery option for you. You will be notified of your 1 hour delivery slot on the morning of your delivery. This will be sent by SMS and/or email depending on the details you have provided with your order. If you wish to input any special delivery instructions please do so via the notification or download the courier’s app.
What if I’m not home?
If no one is available at your address to take delivery of your order it will be left at a safe and convenient place, which you have specified to us in your order. If the products cannot be left at a safe and convenient location, or you are not in, our courier will leave your products either with a neighbour, or in a place which the courier determines to be suitable.
Packaging & Storage
How long will my order stay cold?
Packaging will keep perishable goods safe for 48 hours. Perishable goods must be consumed, frozen or refrigerated within 48 hours from the time of pack.
Is your packaging recyclable?
We choose to use reusable sustainable packaging for all our deliveries. Our cardboard boxes are made from recycled pulp and can be recycled in most domestic recycling schemes. Our veg is packed in compostable trays and paper bags. We pack our groceries with ’Woolcool’ liners. These natural sheepswool liners are sustainable, biodegradable and compostable, but we would rather reuse them along with our ice packs. So please send them back to us with a free DPD label, downloadable below. Help us make our reuse scheme sustainable by sending back a minimum of 4 sets of liners and ice packs each time.
How should I store raw meat?
Store in your refrigerator below 5°C, on the bottom shelf. Store meat in the bottom of the fridge – the coldest area. This also means that if any juices leak, they won’t run onto other foods. It’s usually best to store the meat in its original packaging. If you open the packet, transfer to an air tight, food safe container. Eat within 3 to 5 days.
Ordering
Will the weight be exactly as listed?
Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our products are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 5% tolerance. You will not be charged or refunded for variations in weight of products within this tolerance.
What if an item is unavailable?
Where you have ordered a product which we cannot provide (by way of example, because it is a perishable product which would not be edible by the time it is delivered to you) we may, at our sole discretion, provide a substitute of that product which we believe to be similar or materially identical to the product you ordered. You will not be charged additional fees for substituted products. Before making a substitution we may attempt to contact you by telephone or email to confirm the substitution with you.
Can I cancel my order?
You cannot cancel any order that contains perishable products (for example, meat) after 9am one week before the delivery date you specify in your order.
Can I return perishable items?
For the avoidance of doubt, perishable products (such as meat) once dispatched for delivery cannot be returned.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by Mastercard, Visa, Visa Delta, Switch, American Express, PayPal and Apple Pay. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. If you have subscribed to receive products on a recurring basis, we will take payment from the payment details you provide to us seven days before the date of despatch.
Can I use more than one discount code?
You may redeem only one promotional code per transaction and promotional codes cannot be redeemed in conjunction with any other promotion or discount.
Subscriptions
Do you offer a subscription?
Our subscribe and save option gives you 5% off our entire online farm shop when you opt in to a recurring order with us.
