These ribs are highly marbled, meaty and unusually delicious.

Plate

The plate primal is located on the underside of the animal directly beneath the rib primal. SRF Wagyu™ cuts from this primal have a high fat content which makes them juicy and full of flavor. Key muscles in the plate primal are the serratus ventralis (plate ribs) and transversus abdominus (skirt steak).

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

What are beef short ribs?

Short ribs are sourced from the first five rib bones in the beef chuck (shoulder). The name comes from the fact these ribs are physically shorter than the remaining eight ribs used for steaks and roasts. The primary muscle that makes up short ribs is the serratus ventralis.

What is SRF Black® and SRF Gold®?

All SRF products are American Wagyu. We use the Japanese Beef Marbling Score (or BMS) to measure the marbling present in the beef. Both SRF Black® and SRF Gold® grade above USDA Prime. The SRF Black® grades between a BMS 6 to 8; SRF Gold® is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+.
