💎 Key Nutrients
Which Beef Short Ribs Does This Entry Describe?
This record is beef rib short ribs, separable lean only, choice, cooked and braised. “Separable lean only” means separable external fat and inedible bone are excluded from the edible portion; intramuscular fat that remains in the lean portion is still reflected in the listed total fat. A bone-in restaurant portion, raw ribs, or ribs braised in a sugary sauce should not be assumed to match this record.
Nutrition per Cooked Piece and per 100 g
The USDA serving is one cooked piece weighing 121 g: 295 kcal, 30.76 g protein, 18.13 g total fat, 7.74 g saturated fat, 93 mg cholesterol, 58 mg sodium, 3.36 mg iron, and 313 mg potassium. Dividing by 121 and scaling to 100 g gives approximately 244 kcal, 25.4 g protein, 15.0 g fat, 6.4 g saturated fat, 77 mg cholesterol, and 48 mg sodium. The 100 g figures are rounded calculations from the listed cooked-piece serving.

How to Read Lean, Fat, and Bone Labels
Compare portions on the same basis: cooked edible weight with cooked edible weight. Bone-in package weight is not the same as edible serving weight, and trimming or leaving rendered fat in the finished dish changes what is eaten. Sauces, stock, oil, and vegetables add nutrients that are not included in this plain braised short-rib entry.
Portion and Preparation Notes
Braising is a moist-heat method often used to tenderize short ribs. For a meal-level estimate, start with the cooked edible weight and add the recipe ingredients separately. Because this cut supplies substantial protein but is also energy-dense from fat, pair the portion with vegetables or another food that fits the person’s overall dietary needs rather than treating the database entry as a medical recommendation.
