Dino ribs, also known as short plate ribs, are the massive, meaty ribs cut from the plate section of the cow—just below the ribeye. Nicknamed "dino ribs" for their prehistoric size and caveman-worthy look, these ribs are packed with marbling, rich beef flavor, and an epic presentation.
Each rib is large, with thick slabs of meat on top of the bone, making them ideal for slow smoking, braising, or low-and-slow roasting. When cooked right, the meat becomes tender, juicy, and fall-off-the-bone, with a deep, smoky bark and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
