<P> When the carcass is cut across the bone to create strips of meat with multiple rib bones, the short rib is known as a "flanken cut ." These may also be known as crosscut ribs, Eastern European - style ribs, Hawaiian - style ribs, Jewish ribs, Korean - style ribs, or "kosher ribs". Flanken - cut short ribs incorporate at least two rib bones, and are often no more than 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) thick . </P> <P> Retail meat shops often do not differentiate between short ribs which come from the brisket, chuck, plate, and rib . In the United States, short ribs from the plate are generally the least expensive cut, followed by medium - priced short ribs from the brisket and chuck, and premium - priced short ribs from the rib area . </P> <P> Beef short ribs are the equivalent of spare ribs in pork, with beef short ribs usually larger and meatier than pork spare ribs . </P> <P> "Boneless" short ribs are cut from either the chuck or plate, and consist of rib meat separated from the bone . "Boneless country - style short ribs", however, are not true short ribs . They are found primarily in the United States, and are cut from the chuck eye roll (serving as a less expensive alternative to rib steak). </P>
