About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Flanken-style ribs are made by cutting the short rib crosswise through the bones, so each thin strip has several small bone slices in it. Cut this way, they cook fast on a grill or under a broiler and take on marinades well. They are the cut used for Korean kalbi. They can also be braised for a different style of dish. The cut can come from the plate or the chuck end.

Cook’s tipMarinate for several hours and grill quickly over high heat. Cook to at least 145°F and let rest three minutes.
