cuts-of-beef.jpgEverybody loves a properly grilled steak hot off the barbeque.

However, if you buy cuts of beef thinking that the more expensive the steak the better, then you may be disappointed when it comes time to eat that steak!

If money is no object, go for the rib eye, the tenderloin, the Porterhouse/T-bone or the strip; but if you’re looking for value for money try a flat boned sirloin for a great beefy flavor, or even cheaper, a top round steak. ~Source

 

Choosing Cuts Of Beef

Understanding the different cuts of beef and their individual characteristics will help you determine the best cuts to buy for various dishes and the best way to prepare your meat.

Some cuts of beef are best done quickly on a hot grill, while others are better suited for the crock pot or pressure cooker.

These are some excellent tips for choosing the right cuts of beef:

  • Each Cut Of Beef Explained
  • Chart: Cuts Of Beef Made Easy
  • 10 Tips To Buy The Best Beef Available
  • Which Cut Of Beef Is Best For Steak?
  • Cuts Of Steak Explained

Here’s how to talk to the butcher. Just know ahead of time that there are things the butcher won’t tell you. (Even more secrets from a butcher.)

Most important is to realize you don’t need to buy expensive cuts to enjoy meat so tender that you don’t even need a knife to cut it.  ‘Low and slow’ will make any piece of beef tender and delicious!

I love my kitchen… and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen… you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

CurtisOne of my all-time favorite "hobbies" is cooking at home! I especially enjoy experimenting with new ingredients ...and different types of cookware. My specialties are foods that are diabetic-friendly, keto-friendly, and low-carb. I share my favorite recipes and cooking tips here at The Fun Times Guide to Food.
