Beef ribs
Rich, deeply beefy, and fattier than leaner cuts, becoming tender and succulent with slow cooking.
Lens analyzedBeef ribs are a bone-in cut taken from the rib section of a cow, carrying more meat between the bones than pork ribs and a rich, beefy flavor. They're typically slow-cooked, braised, or smoked until the tough connective tissue softens and the meat pulls easily from the bone.
Where it comes from
Rib cuts have long been used in barbecue and slow-cooking traditions across North America, where beef ribs became closely associated with Texas-style barbecue and other regional smoking traditions that favor beef over pork.
Buying it
Look for ribs with a good amount of meat between the bones rather than mostly bone, and check for a bright red color without excessive graying, which can signal age.
Storing it
Refrigerate raw beef ribs and cook within a few days, or freeze them for longer storage; cooked ribs keep refrigerated for three to four days.
Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.
