Spare
ribs
Spare Ribs come from the belly section, just below the rib roast and short rib area. They’re naturally fatty, which gives them bold flavor and juiciness when cooked slowly. The connective tissue softens with time, leaving the meat tender and full of rich beefy taste. Spare Ribs shine when paired with a sweet, sticky glaze, making them both delicious and fun to eat, a real treat to enjoy at a Simcha.
