Beef Ribs – What Exactly Are Beef Ribs?
Basically, there are two types of beef ribs, back ribs and short ribs. A steer has 13 ribs on each side. Starting at the front of the cow, the first 5 ribs are the chuck cut. The next 7 ribs are part of the rib section and extend down into the short plate. The remaining rib is in the loin cut. As you might imagine, these cuts vary quite a bit from one end of the steer to the other. They vary not only in flavor but in texture as well.
Middle of the cow forward is where the Beef Ribs come from. The very front of the Cow is where the Brisket comes from.
