Beef Chuck Short Ribs, Bone-In, USDA Choice, sold per pound at Costco warehouses. These bone-in short ribs are cut from the chuck section of the cow and carry the USDA Choice grade, the second-highest designation awarded by the USDA, indicating high-quality beef with good marbling for excellent flavor and tenderness.

USDA Choice beef has less marbling than Prime but remains tender, juicy, and full of rich beefy flavor. Chuck short ribs are thick, meaty cuts with the bone attached, making them an excellent choice for slow cooking methods that allow the collagen and connective tissue to gradually break down into a rich, silky texture.

These short ribs are well-suited for braising in red wine or beef broth in the oven or stovetop, slow-roasting, pressure cooking, or smoking low and slow on the grill. They are also popular for Korean-style preparations such as galbi-jjim (braised short ribs). The bone-in structure and natural fat content enhance the depth of flavor during extended cooking, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness and a deeply savory sauce.
