What are Beef Short Ribs?

Just as the name suggests, they are rib meats cut from the ribs area of beef cattle. The meat can also be cut from the chuck, brisket, or plate area. The thickness of the meat differs with the size of cattle, but it’s all a short piece of the rib covered with meat.

Beef short ribs are the same as beef back ribs, and the only difference is where they are cut from. The short back ribs are cut from the back of the cattle, while short ribs are cut from the lower part of a cattle’s rib cage. Another notable difference between the two is that meat is located all around the bone in the short ribs and between the bones in the back ribs.

All the same, beef short ribs are ideal for low heat and slow cooking methods as they have a lot of fat and connective tissue. Gordon Ramsay‘s recipe has the simplest instructions and the yummiest results.
