Beef Short Ribs, Flanken-Cut

Beef Short Ribs, Flanken-Cut is a cut of beef taken across the bone (flanken style) and is popular in Korean barbecue (galbi), as well as slow-braised and grilled preparations in many cuisines for its rich, beefy flavor. It is known for its marbling and connective tissue, which give both flavor and tenderness when cooked slowly or charred quickly on high heat. Nutritionally, Beef Short Ribs, Flanken-Cut is a concentrated source of animal protein — providing about 17g of protein per 100g — and supplies key nutrients found in red meat such as vitamin B12 and zinc. It is also higher in total and saturated fat than lean beef cuts, so portion size and cooking method matter if you are watching saturated fat intake. From a health-nutrition perspective, this cut offers a high-quality amino acid profile and important micronutrients, but because of its fat content it is best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for leaner cuts when aiming to reduce saturated fat intake.
