Beef Ribs?

[ReverendMike]

A quick question. Is there a specific formal name for those Flintstone sized beef ribs? I get confused looks at supermarkets and I don't have a legit butcher shop anywhere close.

Aren't short ribs the smaller ones and the Flintstone style big ribs the beef back ribs?

Mike, I think it's just how the short ribs are being cut.  AmazingRibs has a nice explanation:

Those look like short ribs, cut longitudinally.
Sorry, couldn't think of a better word.
The packer that the stores get is a nice, blocky piece.
I do a lot of Flanken Cut short ribs and my QFC and Safeway guy will show me the packers and they cut what I want.
Flanken is 1/4" thick cross-cut for hot and fast grilling....I have a killer marinade that will change your life.....it's a Gartner's counterfeit.

Here, short ribs are cut into cube-like pieces, but a long cut like yours would be nice. (beautiful job, BTW)

I just did some long beef ribs, which were like a St. Louis cut only beef that I got at Gartner's.
It is hard (impossible) to find meaty beef ribs in the super markets...Gartner's has good beef ribs.
I used Weber Chicago and they came out great.

They are called beef plate ribs or beef chuck ribs in Texas. They cook up nice!

Pictured below are beef chuck ribs. They are sold in a slab of 4 bones.

Like Tommy B said, they are also called Chuck Ribs at my local Restaurant Depot, which is the only place I've seen them.

And they do cook up nice ! !

Awesome bark,
What's your routine ?

Here's what those 4 bones look like Flanken Cut....

From my understanding beef short ribs dosnt have anything to do with the lenth but wverything to do with the area its cut from.
The plate is the area i order short ribs from but you get anything down under

Yes, that is my understanding as well.
Markets up here almost always cut them into small, one bone blocks.
I like Flanken cut for the above recipe....about 1/4" thick....yummy.

I've never cooked the full, 4 bone "packer", but it might be on my "to-do" list.

It's worth it. Normally about a 5 hr process running your fire around 280. I like to wrap them in butcher paper too once I get the color I like.

Ain't that the truth. Made these twice. First time, lucked out and got some decent ones. Became my girl's favorite. Next time, the ribs weren't even enough for a snack--no meat on them! I don't see the purpose of selling them like that.
