USDA Choice is the second-highest grade of beef, and these Bone-In Beef Short Ribs come from the esteemed Black Angus cow, renowned for their flavor. They're not only cut extra thick, but also flanken-style. This means cut across the bone, so that each piece contains 3-4 small pieces of bone between areas of meat, making it perfect for dishes like Korean BBQ. These ribs have exceptional marbling, flavor and tenderness, with a strong beef flavor and juicy finish thanks to its unique fat composition and tendon muscularity. Black Angus represents our highest-quality breed and grading. We source our Black Angus cattle from the grain-rich areas of the Northern Plains, specifically Nebraska and Colorado – two states known for producing the richest Black Angus cattle available. We carefully choose small family ranchers with a passion for raising high-quality cattle, and our partners fully understand what is required to achieve a memorable eating experience, such as traditional slow-feeding. Slow-feeding gives these cattle ample time to develop generous amounts of marbling, which elevates the eating experience of Black Angus beef. Over time, the breed marbles naturally and abundantly, for extraordinarily rich layers of complex, buttery beef flavors.
