If you’re looking for a sub that gives you full flavor in every bite, my Korean Barbecue Chopped Sub will come out with a gold star. It’s really not that complicated. Cook the meat, add your ingredients, chop like a mad person, and toss everything in a toasted bun.

Effectively, the chopped sub-craze could be called the “deconstructed” sub-phase. You take all the ingredients you love on your bun and chop them up. The process means you get a little bit of everything bundled into every tasty morsel.

PitMaster’s Memo: What’s the Beef About Beef Ribs?

The main difference you’ll immediately notice between pork ribs and beef ribs is that pork ribs are beef ribs’ smaller cousins. Beef ribs are longer and they are also meatier. The marbling on these ribs helps naturally tenderize them. They will need a little more attention while you’re grilling so as not to ruin them.

There are two main types of beef ribs. Short ribs have yummy amounts of meat above the bones. The ribs are nearly flat, making them easier to turn. Back ribs are light on the meat, and they cook quickly. They’re wonderful for smoking and braising.
