How to: Grass Fed and Finished Flanken-Cut Short Ribs

Looking for a rich, flavorful cut built for the grill? Meet your new favorite meat: Grass fed and finished flanken-cut short ribs. This lean but mighty cut is a dinner go-to for quick meals that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe. 

The Cut 

If you’re not familiar with flanken-cut short ribs, here’s a quick rundown: Beef short ribs typically come from the chuck (shoulder) or plate (underbelly) of a cow. They’re shorter pieces of rib bones, hence their name.

The flanken style refers to thin, horizontal slices across the rib bones, producing this cut’s distinctive long, thin strips of meat. If you’ve ever had Korean BBQ, this is often the star of the table! Unlike traditional bone-in ribs that need hours to tenderize, flanken-cut ribs reach your plate in minutes. 

The Quality 

The key to any great cut that’s just as delicious as it is nourishing? When shopping in person or online, opt for genuine grass fed farm beef. One-hundred percent grass fed and finished beef ensures every bite is tender and delivers a more robust, nutrient-dense profile that’s good for you and your family. 

The Preparation

Flanken short ribs have a high fat content and natural marbling, making them ideal for high-heat cooking, such as grilling, broiling, or pan-searing. Their thin, tender slices melt in your mouth, delivering a true beef flavor that’s intensified with a mouthwatering marinade or glaze, making them a versatile option that can be adapted to taste preferences.

The Recipes 

Flanken-cut short ribs are ready to marinate and grill! After marinating overnight (or at least a few hours) in a sweet-and-savory sauce, flash-grill the short ribs over high heat for a crispy, caramelized finish. 

For a Korean-style BBQ take, pair it with rice and your favorite complementary side dishes. For a full-on grill feast, balance the ribs' richness with a zesty grilled pasture raised corn and soy free chicken dish.
