Dino Ribs — Beef Plate Short Ribs, 123A Cut These are true plate short ribs (NAMP/IMPS 123A) — not chuck short ribs. Cut from the plate, they're long, meaty, and built for low-and-slow smoking. Home-raised Angus, grass-fed and grain-finished, with no hormones or antibiotics, ever. Why It's a Cut Above: True plate short ribs (123A) — bigger bones and more meat on top than chuck short ribs Deep marbling — rich, beefy flavor that holds up to hours on the smoker Home-raised Angus — grass-fed, grain-finished, no hormones or antibiotics Best For: Backyard smoking & competition BBQ, feeding a crowd, and the showstopping "dino bone" presentation. Weight: Bundles average 8 lbs (two plates, 3-5 lbs each, 6-10 lbs total). Our single bone option is a full-length rib, unlike the shorter cross-cut bones sold elsewhere. Prep Tip: Smoke low and slow at 225°F until probe-tender — plan on 6+ hours given the size.
