How it's used
Distinguished by its rich marbling and distinct layers of fat, this cut is highly prized for its tender texture when slow cooked. It is considered a premium choice in beef noodle shops compared to tougher cuts like brisket. The name refers to the meat taken from the rib cage area where the fat creates a unique layered appearance.
