Brisket with BBQ and Soya Source 

Short ribs are a cut of beef taken from the brisket, chuck, plate, or rib areas of cattle. They consist of a short portion of the rib bone, which is overlain by meat that varies in thickness.

                                The question is, where does the short Rib come from , and 
                              why not beef Rib?.  Surly they come from the Rib section
in contra lower rib cage of the steer, referred to as a 'short plate' (or sometimes, just 'plate'), hence, the name.  The upper portion of the rib cage, in contrast,  often just called 'beef ribs' or 'beef back ribs', which is attached to the cut of meat that commonly known as prime rib  (or rib eye steak).

Sometimes, they are cut slightly thicker, like this.  This is called the 'English Cut, where the meat is sliced parallel to the bone.

There are two major types of cuts: The "flanken", which is cut across the bone and leaves the bone just 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) in length, and the "English", which is cut parallel to the bone and leaves the bone up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length. English cut short ribs may be served individually, or three or four may served connected to one another (a style known as the "plate"). Short ribs are popular in many international cuisines.

Those are some options that you can have when you want to enjoy Short Ribs 

1. Polenta. Instead of buttered noodles, go for chive-flecked (and gluten-free!) polenta to sop up short ribs’ juices.

2. Alt purees. Forget mashed potatoes. Make a healthier Cauliflower  or White bean puree instead. 

3. Roasted root vegetables. If you’d rather have some texture with your veg, Roasted them. Root veggies are in season throughout short rib weather, and their sweet, earthy flavors are perfect with the luscious beef. 

4. Sautéed Broccolini. For a superfast side, Broccolini can be cooked quickly and feels elegant enough for a  dinner party.

5. Bitter salads. Want to cut through short ribs’ richness? Serve bracing salads made from escarole or radicchio alongside or after the short ribs.

6. Caramelized kimchi. Feeling adventurous? Cook cabbage kimchi (the fiery Korean pickle) with some sugar until it’s browned to make a sweet-tangy-spicy relish that’s delicious with short ribs.

7. Sautéed mushrooms. If the meal centers around a spectacular bottle of wine and you don’t want some vegetably vegetables messing with it, saute some mushrooms. They echo the beefy flavors and pair with most wines.
