Kirkland Signature USDA Choice Beef Meaty Back Ribs are bone-in beef back ribs sold by the pound, with packages typically averaging around 5 lbs per rack. Back ribs are cut from the rib section of the cow, adjacent to the prime rib roast, and are known for their rich beefy flavor and satisfying texture rather than heavy meat coverage.

USDA Choice grade beef is the second-highest quality grade, characterized by good marbling that contributes to tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. These ribs are well-suited to low-and-slow dry-heat cooking methods such as smoking, grilling, or oven roasting. Braising in wine, tomato sauce, or broth for several hours is another popular preparation that yields fork-tender, fall-off-the-bone results. The membrane on the back should be removed before cooking for best results.
