Beef, but most stores carry trash beef ribs. No meat whatsoever. Pork is easier to get consistent quality.
Plus Juan.Love both but gun to my head, beef.
Pork are so much harder to screw up.
Beef. If you want to taste some simple yet bomb beef short ribs the next time you go to Oahu (Hawaii), check out Helena's and order the Pipikaula Short ribs. That blows away any pork ribs I ever tried and I've ate a lot of different pork ribs including Nugget Rib Cookoff in Reno a few times and other rib competitions. At the same time baby back (pork) ribs at Rutherford Grill (in Napa) is damn good too.
I'm not talking L&L BBQ or your standard plate lunch short rib/kalbi you get at these type of plate lunch restaurants. That aint Hawaiian food.. Helena's is at an entire different level and follow the dry pipikaula process, but with short ribs. Simple yet good.Hawaiin BBQ ribs are just a ripoff of Korean Kalbi.
I used to really enjoy getting a BBQ combo meal which included beef ribs as well as different types of pork, and I like the meatiness of beef ribs, but pork ribs have better flavor.
