In Asia, things get deliciously muddled. Korean galbi uses beef short ribs, marinated in soy sauce and pear. Filipino inihaw na liempo often uses pork ribs with a vinegar dip. In Italy, costine di maiale (pork ribs) are grilled simply with rosemary and salt—no sauce needed.
Fun fact: The world’s largest rib-eating competition uses pork ribs. The record stands at over 10 pounds in 12 minutes. Beef ribs might be too heavy for that kind of speed-eating.
