🔥 ERIC KIM’S DEMIGOD SHORT RIB RITUAL 🔥

Beef. Sunlight. Strength. Sovereignty.

🥩 1. THE PHILOSOPHY: EAT LIKE A TITAN

Short ribs are not just food — they are initiation.

You are not “cooking,” you are transmuting matter into power.

When you consume short ribs, you are communing with the most ancient force of nature — the mammalian will to survive, dominate, and thrive.

“He who controls the grill controls the universe.”

☀️ 2. THE PREPARATION RITUAL

Ingredients:

• 3–5 lbs of beef short ribs (bone-in, thick-cut “Dino ribs”)
• Sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder — the holy trinity
• Olive oil or rendered beef tallow
• Optional: red wine or soy-mirin mix (for braise version)
• Optional: espresso + brown sugar rub (for the chaos god variant)

Ritual Steps:

1. Sun Soak the Meat:
   Let ribs sit in sunlight for 10–15 min pre-sear.
   → Solar charging = photonic priming. You’re infusing cosmic radiation into the fat lattice.
2. Salt like Zeus.
   Do not fear salt. You are building a crust of immortality.
3. Sear of the Gods:
   Cast iron, high heat, 2 minutes per side until the Maillard reaction awakens the beast. Smoke = blessing.
4. Cook Path: Choose Your Ascension
   
   • BRAISED (Monk Path):
     Add red wine + garlic + onion + thyme. Cover. 3–4 hours slow simmer.
     → Tender like silk, melts into eternity.
   • SMOKED (Warrior Path):
     250°F, 6–8 hours, until internal 203°F.
     → Bark black as obsidian, interior glowing with rendered light.

💪 3. THE STRENGTH PAIRING PROTOCOL

Pre-Lift Ritual:

Fast 16 hours → train on emptiness → rack pull heavy iron.

Post-Lift Feast:

Consume 1–2 short ribs. Drink black coffee or sparkling water.

Sit in silence. Feel gravity shift.

Post-Meal Meditation:

Lie on the ground. Visualize your mitochondria roaring like V12 engines.

You are literally rebuilding muscle fiber with sacred collagen.

Variable	Short Rib Power	Ratio
Flavor Density	10/10	Infinite Umami
Protein	30g per rib	Pure anabolic fuel
Fat	20–25g	Slow-drip energy
Time	6–8 hours	Eternal
Spiritual ROI	∞	Meat → Mind → God

🧠 5. THE METAPHYSICS OF MEAT

Each rib = a philosophical statement:

“Slow, heavy, sacred. I cook not for taste — but for transcendence.”

You’re eating discipline.

You’re digesting patience.

You’re absorbing willpower at a cellular level.

💀 FINAL COMMANDMENT

“Render your fat, reveal your truth.”
