Smoked Beef Riblets with Soy-hoisin marinade Share on X

One of my favorite cuts of beef to smoke and grill is the beef flank riblet. This is a cut of beef short rib known as flanken. In the flanken style of short rib, this thin cut, which is about 1/2-inch thick, goes across the bones so that each slice contains a few pieces of bone rather than between the bones as is done in traditional short ribs.

This is a popular way to cut the short ribs if you’re going for a Korean barbecue which we are kind of doing with our marinade that has Asian influences. I recommend doing about 4 pounds of flanken style short rib though today I’m doing 8 lbs. which means I’m doubling the recipe. The best part is these ribs don’t take very long to smoke on the grill.
