Plate Short Ribs are a cut of beef taken from the lower portion of the rib cage, specifically from the short plate primal cut, which is located just below the rib primal. These ribs are known for their rich marbling, deep beefy flavor, and tender texture when cooked properly.
Here are a few key characteristics of plate short ribs:
- Cut Location: From the short plate, near the belly of the cow.
- Bone Structure: Typically includes 3 to 5 bones, with a good amount of meat both on top and between the bones.
- Cooking Methods: Best suited for slow cooking, braising, or smoking, which helps break down the connective tissue and render the fat.
- Common Dishes: Used in dishes like Korean galbi, Texas-style smoked ribs, or braised short ribs.
