What are beef short ribs exactly? Well they’re a cut of beef taken from the cow’s brisket, chuck, plate, or ribs. As the name implies, they are made up of a short portion of rib bone and then the surrounding meat. The meat varies in thickness, but there are two major types of cuts: the “flanken:”, and the “English”. Flanken cuts are cut across the bone, and leaves the bone just 1 to 2 inches or less in length. Flanken are also called crosscut ribs, Eastern European-style, Hawaiian-style, Jewish ribs, Korean-style, or “kosher ribs”.
While English is cut parallel to the bone and leaves the bone up to 6 inches in length. English are also known as barbecue ribs, braising ribs, or fancy cut ribs.
