another potential online source for 123A beef plate ribs
Not sure if others have been trying to find these, but it sounds like flannerybeef.com is going to start offering them. Confirmed with them that these are coming from the plate; trying to confirm that they are 123A spec cut. It seemed like SRF was the only option--creekstone is cut from the chuck. it appears that porter road cuts it from the rib primal.

I’ll be happy to try them out, if so. I thought the Creekstone ribs were good, but not at all the plate that I was expecting.

Spinaker the yield on the creekstones was much lower (large chunks of fat sometimes all the way to the bone vs. the SRF). I suspect a large part of this was due to the cut. I did not even try to BBQ them and instead cut thin and grilled for korean BBQ.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
I’ve visited their site before. I’d love to try their beef. However, I just have too much product stored right now. Maybe in a couple months.

I wanted to learn more about short ribs and found an earlier thread on the subject which led me to a professional discussion of short ribs here: https://www.chefs-resources.com/type...ef-short-ribs/. The earlier thread is by HackingBBQ, Online Beef Rib Supplier, 02/11/2017.

Porter Road also sells 123A with their monster Dino Ribs. Regardless of the source, I still prefer the 130 chuck cut and here's why. Due to the anatomy of the cow, ribs 5-7 (which is the 123A region) generally have a large fat cap and as you get into the seventh rib the fat is predominant over the meat. Beyond that the fat content is unacceptable. What you're paying for is a lot of both bone and fat in other words. Here's a good picture to show the advantage of one over the other, I think you get more bang for the buck with chuck.

Huskee you may remember I was on a quest to find Dino Ribs last year. Porter Road shipped me (2) plates that had way too much fat. I complained and they shipped me (2) more that were better but still had too much fat at rib 7. Since then I've found that to be true in my other sourcing's. I just seem to get more meat out of the chucks then the plates, just my observation and opinion based on several attempts.

Sorry just saw this photo. I’d say my plate ribs look similar. So yeah. Agree if you can get chucks like that then that wins on yield

Troutman your post got me sufficiently curious enough to dig out a plate from the freezer. Wagyu plate that SRF advertises as 123A. I didn’t see any egregious low yield. Assume the 7th rib would be the middle of the slab. From the top you can see half the rib has no cap. I took a side shot from where there is a cap and it doesn’t look too bad. just throwing out a datapoint. Maybe I should route my chuck rib buying through you and I’ll buy the plates.

The seventh rib is the furthest end. Again I've found in the ones I've bought and looked over that one of the end ribs will have thin meat tapering down to mostly fat at the thin end. When you only have 3 ribs, that's a big deal. The trimming of the fat cap (again depending on the cow) needs to be aggressive. I don't eat nor want to pay for the fat cap. Not being a hater, just my preference.

This is a very good thread. I don’t see plate ribs at Flannery right now though. Anyone have any recent experiences with them or know if PR has addressed its plate rib issues?Last edited by IFindZeroBadCooks; October 28, 2021, 05:00 PM.

Nah, I went with Creekstone Farms. They were running a sale. (And I am a bit biased, work with them so I like to buy from them when I can.) IFindZeroBadCooks
