Description
Short ribs can be derived from the chuck, rib, or plate. Short ribs cut from the chuck and the plate are most common. Short ribs can be cut "English style" which is good for slow cooking. Or they can be cut "flanken" style which is good for marinating and grilling. Short ribs can also be sold boneless. Boneless short ribs exclude all bones leaving behind a single muscle called the serratus ventralis. This muscle helps the cow move its shoulder blade. Boneless short ribs are best sousvide or braised.
