The best cut of beef ribs comes from the lower, ventral, section, from the 6th through 10th rib, roughly the same cut as the St. Louis cut of pork ribs. It is called the short plate, and the ribs are called short ribs not because they are short in length, but because they come from what is called the short plate.
Beef Short Ribs. Beef short ribs are cut from the bottom end of the rib cage called the âplateâ or from the chuck area. The first area being the most tender. I do not recommend grilling beef short ribs since the meat is tough like brisket and can only be tenderized through a long, slow cooking process such as smoking. Be sure to trim all exterior fat before cooking. As an entree serve one pound of ribs per person.
