Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Beef spare ribs are cut from the plate or chuck. They are rich, fatty, and loaded with connective tissue. Served cross-cut (Korean style) or English cut (long on the bone).

Tip: Salt spare ribs the night before. The salt draws moisture in and seasons deep, and the surface dries out which builds a better crust.

Certification covers the farm and its cattle. The local processor that cuts and packs the beef isn't a certified organic facility, so packs can't carry the certified organic label. Same cattle, same paddocks - organically raised, cut and packed locally in Central QLD.
