Just like the reviews said, there is a lot of fat, and even after marinating it in sauce for a day, it isn't tender and is a bit tough.

I marinaded the meat with Korean bbq sauce and cooked it on the grill. It was good!
happybelly
Korean-style three-rib short ribs are rich in flavor and have evenly distributed marbling. The bone-in slices are perfect for grilling or quick pan-frying. Because they're sliced thinly, they don't need long marinating time; a simple marinating with Korean BBQ sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper is enough to bring out their rich aroma. Pan-fry them on a grill or in a skillet until lightly charred on both sides; the meat near the bone is especially fragrant, tender, and juicy.
