What Are Beef Short Ribs?
Beef ribs, also known as flank ribs or rib fingers, are cuts of meat taken from the cow’s rib bones. Rib meat is typically trimmed from the front ribs, near the brisket. These bones are hard and are often used for stews or grilled dishes.
Short ribs are the portions of meat cut from the ribs after the main rib bones have been removed. They are sliced lengthwise from the end of the rib bones toward the brisket area, generally consisting of seven rib pieces. This cut offers a perfect balance of lean meat and fat, making it ideal for various cooking styles. Beef short ribs are especially suitable for charcoal or grill cooking as the marbled fat helps the meat stay juicy and flavorful with a golden, crispy exterior after grilling.
