What Makes Short Ribs So Special

Short ribs are cut from the lower section of the cow’s rib — a spot packed with marbling that melts during cooking, turning into juicy, fall-off-the-bone perfection.

They’re ideal for slow cooking, smoking, braising, or grilling — the kind of cut that fills your home with that unmistakable aroma of good, honest food.

When cooked right, short ribs become buttery and tender with a deep, beefy flavor that only comes from pasture-raised cattle.

Beef short ribs come from the lower section of the rib cage, specifically the plate, brisket, or chuck areas of the cow — depending on the butcher’s cut.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• 🐄 Plate short ribs – cut from the lower rib section (ribs 6–10), just beneath the ribeye. These are the meatiest and most flavorful, with rich marbling — ideal for slow braising or smoking.

• 🥩 Chuck short ribs – come from the shoulder area near the front of the cow. They’re shorter, meatier, and often a bit tougher, but become incredibly tender when cooked low and slow.

• 🍖 Brisket short ribs – found near the chest area, and tend to have a bit more connective tissue, making them great for long, slow cooking methods.

In short: short ribs are from the lower rib cage of the cow, where the meat is flavorful, marbled, and perfect for braising, smoking, or barbecuing.

Raised Right. Tastes Right.

Every bite of our Freedom Farms short ribs tells a story — of American farmers, hard work, and the values that made this country great.

We raise our cattle on pasture, not in feedlots, because we believe in doing things the old-fashioned way — the right way.

That’s what sets our beef apart from the big industrial brands. No confinement. No fillers. Just pure, all-American beef from family farms that care about quality and country.

🇺🇸 Farm-Raised. Family-Owned. Proudly American.

How to Cook Freedom Farms Short Ribs

Here are a few tried-and-true ways to make your short ribs shine:

🔥 Slow-Cooked: Simmer with onions, garlic, and a splash of red wine or broth for 4–5 hours until tender.
🔥 Smoked: Cook low and slow at 225°F for that perfect bark and smoky flavor.
🔥 Grilled or Seared: For a faster cook, try Korean-style short ribs — thin-sliced and marinated in soy, garlic, and a touch of honey.
🔥 Oven-Braised: Set it and forget it — bake covered at 325°F for 3–4 hours until the meat nearly melts off the bone.
