The Plate
The plate primal is located on the lower belly of the cow, directly beneath the rib section. This area produces richly flavored cuts that are known for their bold beef taste and distinctive texture.
One of the most popular cuts from the plate is the skirt steak. Long and thin with pronounced grain, skirt steak is prized for its intense flavor and performs best when cooked quickly over high heat and sliced against the grain.
Plate cuts are commonly used in dishes that celebrate big beef flavor, including fajitas, stir-fries, and grilled steak recipes. When prepared properly, these cuts deliver exceptional taste and a satisfying, hearty bite.

Incredible meat! Everything came quick and frozen just as it should be. The quality of the beef ribs were exactly why I decided to purchase from 44 Farms. I ordered 4 plates of beef ribs and a few little things. They were delivered all the way up to northwestern Washington state in 2 days and the packaging was flawless. Beef ribs are one of the most enjoyable things to smoke and ribs from 44 farms only increases that factor.
Excellent product…smoked for 11 hours at 225 degrees….so good…will order again
No wrap tricks. No shortcuts. Just time, smoke, and patience. Heavy bark, deep smoke, butter-soft meat — and honestly, these stacked up against some of the best beef ribs I’ve had in Texas.
Dino Ribs at their Best! The 44 Farms plate ribs were outstanding! Plate ribs are a simple cook that usually turn out well. The 44 Farms ribs definitely were a notch above the rest. We cooked them unwrapped, and took them off our Traeger at 208F. Rested the ribs about an 1-1/2 hour. The result was “Melt in your Mouth” goodness. I highly recommend 44 Farms. No regrets. We will be back! Thanks for a wonderful product.
These ribs were soooo delicious! My first time making them and everyone loved it! 44 Farms is my go to from now on!
Little rub. 250° for 8-10 hours. Let it rest for an hour if possible and then it's a party in your mouth.
I wanted to try my hand at smoking “Dino Ribs” and was having trouble finding them locally, so I chose these online via internet search. Arrived as scheduled, still frozen, in a styrofoam cooler with dry ice. While the styrofoam added protection and enough insulation to keep the meat cold, it’s not a good ecological choice and likely contributes to the exorbitant shipping cost. Now on to the good stuff: They were DELICIOUS! I did have to trim down the fat cap a bit but no other trimming was necessary. The meat was melt in your mouth tender and the flavor sublime! 44 Farms provides top quality product and service. I had a question about how long I they would keep thawed before cooking and they responded to my email 2 hours after I sent it. If you are looking for premium meat delivered to your door, these guys are for you.
Used layer seasonings, smoked at 250 for about 7 hours.
Amazing quality.
These 3 Bone BEEF Ribs were of the hook. A whole lot of richness in flavor.
One of the easiest but most rewarding cooks in my smoking experience. The meat came out perfect from the great marbling. Will definitely order these again 🙂
Great quality. Will be ordering again very soon. Best ribs I've tasted!
This was by far one of the most tender beef ribs we have ever had. It was a big hit by everyone. It would definitely be on our weekly dinner rotation if it was within our budget. We will most certainly be ordering again in the near future.
Amazing quality and spectacular results. Made these into pastrami beef ribs and they turned out incredible. It was my first experience with 44 farms and I will definitely be back again.

.
Cooked on my pellet grill for 7 hrs, turned out delicious!
Excellent beef ribs. Always juicy and tender
Delicious, well marbled and tender.
These ribs were Amazing! Not only did they taste absolutely delicious the butcher did a great job trimming them there was a nice fat cap to protect the meat and it rendered perfectly to create a great bark. 10/10
Amazing bite, rich in flavor. Very clean beefy taste!
Love the product and very huge lol...Family love them Thanks 44 Farms
I made these for my elderly parents and they both absolutely loved them! My Mom thought they were Prime grade or higher because of how marbled and juicy they were. My Dad finished his huge serving and asked me to order more so we could do that again. Huge hit at our house!
The ribs were outstanding!
Ribs were all a good size except for one little one they put in the box. A little disappointing considering the order was $300. Still the Dino ribs were delicious for my family to enjoy. Made the trip to HEB to replace the smaller rib rack.
Amazing Dino Ribs!
There beef ribs are hands down the best i've ever had!! Always satisfied with their quality!! Can't say enough about their customer service. Top notch!!
Worth it! Will be ordering again very soon. Shipping is quick and packaged well.
Arrived in great form. Smoked perfectly with plenty of fat to render.
The ribs were unbelievable. Tender. Cooked the low & slow
These whole short ribs never disappoint they are more than meaty definitely a belly pleaser and the presentation when finished is always amazing I smoke mine at 200 degrees for 6 hours and the meat falls off the bone it’s so tender we are definitely returning customers your guests will be impressed
Before and after the wrap!
Dry rubbed overnight. Spent about 3 hours on the smoker at 235ish. Wrapped in butcher paper finished in over for about 45 minutes at 250, The meat pulled clean off the bone!!! Very good!
I recently purchased from 44 Farms 2 prime briskets and 2 dino ribs. When you order from 44 Farms, you know you will get top quality meat not found in stores. Some say it's expensive, but being honest, you get what you pay for. I will continue to order from 44 Farms, though I've slowed my BBQs due to the Texas heat. But in about 2 more months, Im ordering from 44 Farms again and again. Give them a try, you won't regret it. Plus, I love the gift they gave me, which was a 44 Farms cooler bag. Thank you 44 Farms.
The plate ribs were a hit with my family. EVERYONE loved them, tender, juicy and very flavorful. This was my first cook on my new pellet smoker. 44 Farms did not disappoint and I will be back shopping soon. Thanks a bunch. Timothy D.
Good product. Well marbled. Will be ordering again!
