Kirkland Signature USDA Choice Beef Chuck Short Rib Bone-In Sliced is a premium cut sold by the pound at Costco warehouse locations. These short ribs are cut flanken-style—sliced across the bone—yielding thin, even slabs ideal for Korean BBQ (galbi), braising, grilling, or smoking.

USDA Choice is the second-highest beef quality grade, reflecting high-quality meat with good marbling that delivers tenderness, juiciness, and rich beefy flavor. Choice beef short ribs from the chuck are particularly well-marbled, making them well-suited to both dry-heat cooking methods like grilling and moist-heat methods like braising.

Each slab features a cross-section of bone surrounded by well-marbled meat. The flanken cut is popular across Korean, Hawaiian, and Latin cuisines and benefits from marinades before grilling. For braised preparations, slow cooking in liquid renders the collagen-rich connective tissue into a silky, tender result.
