Flanken Cut

Flanken-cut short ribs are thin strips cut across the bones so several bone cross-sections appear in each strip—built for marinades and quick high-heat grilling, especially Korean kalbi and Jewish-style flanken braises. Thinness means flavour soaks in fast and cooking is brief on the grill. Marinate, grill hot, and rest briefly; or braise thin flanken until tender. Bones stay in for flavour and presentation. Watch sugar-heavy marinades for burning.
