The best cut of beef ribs comes from the lower, ventral, section, from the 6th through 10th rib, roughly the same cut as the St. Louis cut of pork ribs. It is called the short plate, and the ribs are called short ribs not because they are short in length, but because they come from what is called the short plate.
Also called baby back ribs, loin ribs, back ribs, loin back ribs or Canadian back ribs. This cut of rib comes from the blade and center section of the pork loin. The nick name, baby backs is derived because the rib is shorter than the next section of ribs, the spare ribs. The loin back rib is meatier than the other cuts, with meat between the bones, or âfinger meatâ, as well as on top of the bones.
