The plate of beef, also known as the short plate, is a forequarter cut from the belly of the cow, just below the rib cut. It has a rough texture but is characterized by its rich flavor. If you are a fan of Korean food, Galbi is thinly sliced beef short plate (Shabu) marinated and cooked on a tabletop grill, enjoyed over copious round of Soju amidst rowdy camaraderie.
