A brief discussion on the cuts:
Chuck
Meat is basically muscle, and the chuck happens to be a heavily exercised area. Luckily, this area contains a great deal of connective tissue, including collagen. Collagen melts during cooking, making the meat intensely flavorful. Cuts from this area benefit from slow, wet cooking methods like stewing, braising or pot-roasting.
7 Roast—an inexpensive cut which lies next to the ribs; more tender than most chuck; makes an excellent roast.
Short Loin
This area boasts extremely tender cuts and can be prepared without the aid of moist heat or long cooking times. Cuts from the short loin may be sautéed, pan fried, broiled, pan broiled or grilled.
T-bone Steak - Cut from the middle section of the short loin; similar to the porterhouse steak; has a smaller piece of the tenderloin; usually grilled or pan-fried
Tenderloin—often considered the most tender cut of beef; responds well to sauces, meaning the meat does not overpower the flavor of the sauce. It can be cut as the whole strip, or into individual steaks for filet mignon
Sirloin - These tender cuts respond well to sautéing, pan-frying, broiling, pan-broiling or grilling.
Sirloin Tip Roast — excellent when dry roasted or marinated
Rib Rib Roast—known as a standing rib roast (bone left in), or without the bone for convenient slicing. Excellent when dry roasted. A seven-bone prime rib roast can be quite a hefty addition to the dinner table. It is great for a crowd, but for a small family a bone roast will do. Many butchers will cut a roast to order for you Rib Steak—also cut from the rib section, these tender steaks can be purchased bone-in (club steak) or as boneless rib-eye. Flank Flank Steak—this steak has a great flavor, and should be sliced thin against the grain for maximum chewability. Use to make the classic London broil and fajitas. Short Plate Round Top Round—this is the most tender part of the round; it can be prepared as pot roast or cut into thick steaks for braised dishes. Rump Roast—a very popular cut for pot roast, but can also be roasted at low temperatures Shank/Brisket - Traditionally used for corned beef, brisket is best prepared with moist heat. Suitable preparation methods include stewing, braising and pot-roasting. Foreshank— excellent stew meat Brisket — fork tender and succulent, a pot roast made with this cut is mouthwatering. |
