About Beef Cuts

Beef is divided into large sections called primal cuts. These primal cuts are then broken down into subprimal cuts, which are the specific cuts of meat found at your local butcher or grocery store.

Understanding these different cuts can help you choose the right one for your recipe. Cuts from the loin and rib are generally more tender and suited for quick cooking methods like grilling, while cuts from the chuck, round, and brisket benefit from slow cooking methods like braising.
