I feed Raw and want to add some variety. Are ribs and T-bones ok to feed?

Full Question:
I feed my 10 month old GSD raw food. To further add variety, I was wondering if I could feed him ribs, or steaks like a T-bone steak. I read on your site that ribs were fine. Just to verify since I thought rib bones were much harder than leg quarter bones...dogs can eat those, just as they do the leg quarters? And can they eat steaks that have bones in them like T-bones? Any experience? Thanks

Pork ribs and beef ribs are tolerated by many dogs but the bone content is high, and I only feed them WITH additional boneless meat (like burger)

I don’t feed my dogs any type of bones (like T bones) that have been cut by the butcher, they tend to be really sharp. Steak is also really expensive and there are many other cheap cuts of meat that it much better to feed.
