Ribs of beef and pork are a cut of meat. The term 'ribs' usually refers to the less meaty part of the chops, often cooked as a slab (not cut into separate ribs).

They can be roasted, grilled, or smoked.

A set of ribs served together (3-4 or more), is known as a rack (e.g. Rack of Ribs)

In American cuisine, 'ribs' usually refers to barbecue ribs, which are served with various barbecue sauces. They are served as a slab of meat which diners customarily tear apart by hand, then gnaw the meat from the bone.
