beef ribs

Barbecued bovine bones

Beef ribs are large, meaty cuts from a cow's rib section, typically sold as a rack or as individual ribs.

They come in two main varieties: back ribs, which are curved and leaner, and short ribs, which are thicker and fattier.

Beef ribs are popular for slow cooking methods like smoking, braising, or barbecuing, which render their connective tissue and fat into tender, flavorful meat.

We smoked beef ribs for six hours until the meat fell off the bone.
