Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between English cut and flanken cut short ribs?

English cut is cut parallel to the bone one bone per piece. Flanken cut is across the bones with multiple bone cross-sections per strip. English is better for braising.

Why are short ribs so fatty?

Short ribs come from the rib plate area which is heavily marbled. This fat is what makes them so flavorful and tender when slow-cooked.

Can you grill short ribs?

Flanken-cut short ribs are excellent grilled quickly over high heat Korean galbi style. English-cut should be braised.
