Print Version. Biting midges are minute to tiny flies that can be severe biting pests of humans, pets, livestock, and wildlife. Their blood-sucking habits also raise concerns about possible involvement in the transmission of disease agents.
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.
Just because it's called prime rib there's no guarantee the grade of the beef is U.S. Prime! The prime rib is so named because it is one of eight primal cuts in the steer (each one amounts to a logical section); this one happens to be from the rib part of the animal, so it is called prime rib.. But most of what you can buy is actually U.S. Choice at best, not Prime.
