Asado de tiravsGalbi

beef · Close equivalent

These cuts are closely equivalent — the same or nearly identical cut across different butchery traditions.

Both are cross-cut short ribs sliced thin across the bones — galbi is sliced thinner (5–10mm) for fast tabletop grilling; asado de tira is sliced thicker (1–2cm) for slower grilling over wood coals.

Translation takeaway

These are near equivalents in the way butchers and cooks use them. If you can source either one, you're very close to the same result.
