How to Make Montreal-Style Short Ribs

When most of us tackle short ribs, we either braise them until they’re unctuous blocks of meat and molten fat or slice them thin and quickly grill in the style of Korean kalbi. This winter, try a third way from Philadelphia, where Yehuda Sichel, chef-partner at the haute delicatessen Abe Fisher, cures slabs of bone-in ribs in pastrami spices, smokes and slow roasts them, then slices the meat into spice-crusted pink ribbons of unbeatable tenderness.

Whether you’re burrowing in at a snowy cabin or blowing minds at a dinner party, the key is to plan in advance: The rib cures for a week, smokes for an hour—you can skip this step if your smoker is snowbound—and roasts for six. Fortunately, almost all of it is passive cooking time—this beast pretty much flavors and cooks itself.

Makes 4 to 6 servings

  • The Cure: 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp ground caraway seeds, 2 tsp ground coriander seeds, 2 tsp ground black pepper, 2 tsp ground white pepper, 4 tsp ground mustard seeds, 1 tsp sugar, 2⁄3 cup kosher salt
  • The Crust: 1⁄3 cup ground black pepper, 1⁄3 cup ground allspice, 1⁄3 cup ground coriander seeds
