About Beef short rib

Beef short ribs are rib-area cuts containing beef and rib bone, sold in several cutting styles. They are commonly braised or slowly cooked until tender; thinner cross-cut pieces may be cooked more quickly. The term covers bone-in cuts rather than one uniform portion, and the amount of meat and fat depends on the cut and trimming.

Pieces can be thick blocks with a broad bone or narrow cross-cut segments showing several small bone sections. Raw meat is red with variable marbling and connective tissue; long cooking yields a rich flavour and a tender texture. Boneless products sold as short ribs differ in shape and may be trimmed from nearby muscles.
