The flanken style of short rib, which is about 1/2-inch thick, is cut lengthwise across the rib bone to look like long, thin steaks with circle-shaped bones. This is a popular way to cut the short ribs if you’re going for a Korean barbecue kalbi-style result. It should be cooked quickly over high heat, so broil or grill this cut. It can easily overcook, so keep a close eye on it, especially since the high-fat content can cause flare-ups. Marinate, grill, and eat around the bones- the meat is tender, juicy, and delicious!
