How it's used
Refers specifically to the cut of beef known as short ribs, often served in Cantonese-style western restaurants or at home. It is frequently prepared by pan-frying with black pepper sauce or soy sauce. Unlike some other beef cuts, it is almost always served bone-in, which is considered essential for the flavour profile.
