Description

Country-style beef ribs are a highly valued cut of beef in traditional cuisine, known for their deep flavor and juicy texture when slow-cooked. These ribs come from the rib section of the animal, where the meat is interlaced with bone and connective tissue, giving them a robust flavor and a tender texture when properly prepared.

This cut originates from rural and peasant techniques in Latin America, where slow cooking over low heat or in the oven with natural ingredients and simple spices that enhance its flavor has become popular. The "country-style" method often involves marinades with aromatic herbs and traditional seasonings to create hearty and comforting dishes.

Among its properties, beef ribs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and contain essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B-complex vitamins, which are important for energy and muscle health. They also contain fats that contribute to their characteristic flavor, so moderate consumption is recommended as part of a balanced diet.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, this ingredient may be known as costillas de vaca, costillas de carne de res, or simply costillas. In some countries, they are also called asado de tira (Argentina and Uruguay), especially when cut into long strips and prepared on the grill.

Country-style beef ribs are ideal for recipes that require slow cooking, such as stews, braises, barbecue, or oven-roasted dishes, adding a rustic and authentic flavor to any traditional or family meal.
