Cross cut ribs, also known as Flanken style ribs, are a specific cut of beef ribs that are cut thinly across the rib bones, rather than between them. They are well-suited for marinating and grilling.
Characteristics of Cross Cut Ribs:
- Cut Across the Bones: Instead of separating individual ribs, the ribs are cut thinly across the bone structure.
- Thin Slices: This cutting method results in thin slices of meat with embedded bone fragments.
- Ideal for Marinating: The thinness of the cut allows marinades to penetrate the meat quickly and effectively.
- Quick Grilling: Due to their thinness, they cook quickly on the grill.
- Flavorful: When marinated and grilled, they offer a rich, beefy flavor.
