Buffalo spare rib disaster

Spare ribs.
There’s nothing like a good spare rib a metre in length.
I have had spare ribs from some fairly large bullocks and they have been great.
When Jeff was up on one of his hunts in the tropical paradise of Darwin, stick bow hunter true to form was given the nod to take a young buff for meat out of a mob that had wandered into a small water hole.
The buff was quickly butchered and I honed in on those spare ribs packing them into the esky and later placing them in the freezer.
A few days later we had a BBQ and those spare ribs had been soaking in my special marinate and when on the hot plate the aroma was superb. We served them up and after a short while Jeff stated, they are a bit tough mate! Followed by a comment from ribtek the dogs will have trouble chewing these, so I tried one, the taste was great but tough, I couldn’t believe how tough and we had to pass them up and move onto the eye fillet which was edible.
To this day I have not had another spare rib.

Jeff,
I'm guessing that thr S & W in col 'S' and col 'W' is a referral to the ribbie slim and wide version :lol: The best thing for tenderizing meat that are normally tough is the paw paw in about an hour of marinating the meat comes out tender as :wink: Most of the best tenderizing is done using ground up seeds but the fruit and leaves can be used too :wink:
