Description
We love these richly marbled Kosher short ribs as much for their intense beef flavor as their versatility. Most short ribs are cut between the bone, making them strictly suitable for all-day braises, stews and ragus. And you can do that with these; in a Crock Pot or Instant Pot they’ll melt off their bones into complete cold-weather comfort. The difference with these Black Angus Kosher beef short ribs is how we have our team of artisan butchers cut them: flanken-style, or crossways through the bone. This transforms them from a braise-or-bust protein to something equally at home on the grill, maybe with a spicy Korean-style glaze. No matter how you cook the short ribs, our quality-obsessed American ranchers’ sustainable practices and USDA Prime grading ensures fully developed flavor and maximum marbling.

About This Cut
What Cut of Beef Is the Flanken Rib? Marble & Grain butchers take the flanken ribs from the chuck primal, the shoulder section located between the rib primal and the head. The chuck gets a lot of work — so would your shoulders if they were carrying a 30-pound head — so the cuts from this area tend to have a lot of connective tissue and fibers that can make them tough if not treated correctly. Short ribs are no exception, which is why they’re often featured in low-and-slow braises, but a neat work-around is the flanken-style cut. We like this style because it lets you grill short ribs quickly, as you would a steak.
