These Beef Chuck Short Ribs (English Cut) – 2.5 lbs are cut parallel to the bone into thick, meaty portions, with approximately 4–6 pieces per bag. Taken from the chuck, this cut offers a high ratio of meat to bone along with ample connective tissue, making it ideal for slow, moisture-driven cooking methods.

English-cut short ribs are valued for their depth of flavor and their ability to become exceptionally tender when cooked properly.
