Akaushi Wagyu Short Ribs

All the rich flavor of beef short ribs, ready for a sizzling grill.

Our Akaushi Wagyu Flanken-Cut Short Ribs are cut into thin strips across the rib bones, creating the distinctive cross-cut style popular in Korean BBQ and other grilled short rib dishes.

Unlike thick-cut short ribs that typically require hours of braising, these thinner cuts are ideal for marinating and cooking quickly over high heat. Their combination of beef, fat, and bone delivers rich flavor, while a hot grill creates delicious browned edges.

Whether you're planning a backyard cookout, a Korean BBQ-inspired dinner, or something different for steak night, these short ribs bring exciting flavor to the table without complicated preparation.

How to Cook Flanken-Cut Short Ribs

These short ribs are made for marinades and high-heat cooking.

For a Korean BBQ-inspired marinade, combine soy sauce, garlic, fresh ginger, sesame oil, a little brown sugar or honey, and grated pear if desired. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator to develop flavor.

Remove the ribs from the marinade and allow excess liquid to drip off. Grill over medium-high heat or sear in a hot cast-iron skillet, turning as needed until browned and cooked through to your preferred doneness. Watch carefully because sugary marinades can burn quickly.

Because the ribs are thin, cooking time is relatively short and depends on their thickness. Use a meat thermometer when practical, and avoid overcooking, which can make thin-cut ribs chewy.

For the best eating experience, serve hot and enjoy the flavorful meat around the small cross-cut rib bones.
