Everything about Short Ribs totally explained
Short ribs are a popular cut of
beef. Beef short ribs are larger and usually more tender and meatier than their pork counterpart, pork
spare ribs. According to Hormel Foods
(External Link
), short ribs are cut from the
chuck and plate primals.
A full slab of short ribs is typically about 10 inches square, ranges from 3-5 inches thick, and contains three or four
ribs,
intercostal muscle and
tendon, and a layer of boneless meat and fat which is thick on one end of the slab and thins down to almost nothing on the other. There are a variety of ways to
butcher short ribs. The ribs can be separated and cut into short lengths (typically about 2 inches long), called an "English cut", "flanken cut" across the bones (typically about 1/2 inch thick), or cut into boneless steaks (a style recently introduced in the U.S.A. as a cheaper alternative to
rib steak). In
Korea, short lengths of rib are often further butchered by
butterflying (or using an
accordion cut) to unfurl the meat into a long ribbon trailing from the bone, or the meat can be removed from the bone entirely and cut into thin (1/4-1/8 inch thick) slices.
Short ribs may be long-cooked, as in
pot-au-feu, a classic of
French cuisine, or rapidly seared or grilled, as in
Korean cuisine, in which short ribs (called
Galbi), are marinated and grilled over charcoal. Other popular preparations are
barbecue and
braising.
