pork ribs

Smoky meat cuts

Pork ribs are cuts of pork that include the rib bones and surrounding meat.

They come in several varieties—baby back ribs from near the spine, spare ribs from the belly, and St.

Louis-style ribs trimmed into a rectangular rack.

Typically slow-cooked by smoking, grilling, or braising, ribs are a centerpiece of American barbecue culture: We're smoking pork ribs for the Fourth of July.
