I see some nicely marbled hunks of meat on a BOGO sale labeled "Western Style Beef Ribs"... can’t find much of anything on the interweb, & zilch on this forum or free site. I’d like to try some, but clueless how to prepare them without knowing a little about what the hell they are!

*EDIT* Missed the part where you said beef, but I would assume it would be similar to pork western ribs.... They aren't ribs, that's why I left the West Coast... j/k on the last part, but they are cross section shoulder cuts (I think part of the pork chop, and that's generally how you eat them too)
After a bit of research I guess they are the same as country ribs and while meathead covers country style, he doesn't cover western... not 100% sure it's the same exact cut, but it's gotta be close enough to follow his advice. Cook 'em like chops, not like ribs. https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...cuts-explainedLast edited by ItsAllGoneToTheDogs; June 27, 2020, 03:33 PM.

These are beef... I’m familiar with country-style pork ribs (both bone-in shoulder & boneless rear loin versions), and that’s what I’m concerned about: cook bone-in pork country ribs Like boneless (or vice versa), it’s a massive fail—completely different muscles

Jared49 absolutely missed that, but I would assume it's the same cut for beef
