    Beef Short Plate - Whats Your Cut?

    I have 2 nice beef short plates - one from Crowd Cow (the smaller one, ~3 inch bones) and a CAB from our local butcher (~6 inch bones).

    I have done beef short ribs on my KBQ in the past - big hit with my wife!

    Last time I did them I followed Meathead 's recipe and cut into 2 bone segments.
    I just watched Jabin Postals' video and I see he cuts them individual.
    In looking at a number of posts, most leave whole.

    Begs the question - what is your goto?

    If it's a 4 rib plate I will cut into half otherwise I leave whole.
    Cutting into individual ribs will give you more bark. I think its a matter of preference and taste.

      2 rib cut from a plate, unless it's a 3 rib plate then cook it whole. You get plenty of bark (two out of three sides) on a 2 rib option. That's my take on it, but YMMV !!!

        I always leave them whole when I cook them. I just love watching the whole plate of ribs morph into beefy goodness.

          I’ve done both ways, not a whole lot of difference when done, except more bark when individual.

            I leave them whole. I''m always cooking 4 bone chuck short ribs. That's what my meat man can get and that's what I prefer! I get them by the case a couple times a year! I get ample bark, but mostly enjoy the succulent fat/meat combo of the whole cut. All in all, it's pretty much a personal prefernce thing. No wrong answer when you're cooking beef short ribs!

              Three bone plate because that’s what my butcher stocks. I have 6-8 in the freezer at any given time.

              Low and and slow in the Kettle/SnS with BBR. Click image for larger version
