Beef Ribs

Where can I find a place that sells quality beef ribs? I'm not meaning fatty short ribs, but ribs from the standing rib roast when it's cut for rib eye steaks. Years ago, I worked at this wonderful restaurant that served long beef ribs. I've been on a mission since. And I can find the rib eye steaks sold uncut for $100.00. So where are the ribs? I've actually never seen these ribs anywhere except for the restaurant I worked at when I was just 16.
 
Old Bay - are you looking for the long back ribs?? (beef long ribs) or the flanken-style beef short ribs that are about 7 - 8 inches long? The full back ribs are the long ones.
 
Mama!
The ribs were about 6 to 7 inches long. I'm thinking that they came from the rib eye steaks but how come I never see these ribs at any store?
 
Old Bay - I think you have to ask the butcher for them. They are not easy to find either. I don't know why. You can order them on line from different places - but I am not one who would do that with food of any kind - especially meat.
Rib eye steaks come from the rib cut (of course) from the same muscle that gives us those exquisite top loin and top sirloin cuts so you are right thinking that they come from that cut of the beef.
I know that the back ribs are not very meaty - but still they are good. But I think a good butcher can get them for you. They are sold in slabs just like any other rib.
 
These were meaty and I think the serving at the restaurant was 3 ribs and a side. It was a nice restaurant so it was an ample portion. These must be coveted and only sold to restaurants then. I do know of a local butcher, so the next time I pass by I'll ask about them. They're really a nice rib, not fatty, tasty, and meaty.

Believe it or not, but one of our local Super WalMarts sells slabbed beef ribs. And they actually look to be of good quality. I've wanted to purchase some but haven't for lack of a recipe that wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Anyone have a decent recipe or know where to find one? I'm thinking it would take a bit of time for them to get really tender, huh?
 
Yup, absolutely major help. Thank you, Mama. These will give me some idea of where to start anyway. I usually look recipes over and start and then end up tweaking a bit here and there. Looks like pork ribs could be done this way too. Hey, I'm open for more if anyone else wants to contribute to the 'file'.
 
In resorts and country clubs we always served prime rib carved to order on the Sunday and Holiday Brunch Buffets. We would use what is called a "109" ribeye to roast our prime ribs- this is simply a bone-on ribeye, with a fat-cap included. It's usually slightly less expensive per pound and the advantage was you got these luscious long, 7" to 8" meaty beef ribs when all is said and done. We would freeze these rack of ribs until we had MANY, then we'd thaw and cook them with bbq sauce, teriyaki or beef gravy and serve them on the buffet or sometimes we'd cut them into tiny pieces and offer them in the bar during "happy hour" as a munchy to make the drinkers thirsty so they'd buy more booze!
