Are spare ribs pork or beef?

Best Answers

As far as spare ribs, that is normally pork although you can get beef ribs (not short ribs). Country style spare ribs are, again, almost if not always pork. There are spareribs (pork) and baby back ribs (pork.) Country style ribs are much meatier than plain spare ribs, come from a different part of the pig. read more

Pork ribs come in three different cuts – back ribs (also called “baby back ribs”), spare ribs, and St. Louis ribs. The back ribs come from the “loin” section of the pig. The back ribs are what is left when the loin meat is cut away (the loin meat can be used as a loin roast, tenderloin, or pork chops). read more

Beef Ribs are almost always larger than pork ribs, if only because the animal they come from is bigger. Pork Ribs are almost always smaller than beef ribs. We say almost always, because butcher shops and supermarkets tend to reserve the largest beef ribs for restaurants and other big time customers, so it’s possible to find beef ribs that are almost the same size as pork ribs. read more
