We’ve been raising premium, grass-fed beef for five generations, and we know our way around a cow. If you’re buying a half or whole beef from us, it’s helpful to understand the different breakdown of beef cuts so you can choose what suits your kitchen best.
If you’re a grill master, a slow-cooker lover, or somewhere in between, this guide to beef cut breakdowns will help you get the most from your order.
Chuck Cuts: Rich and Flavorful
Chuck cuts are hearty and full of flavor. You can slow-roast roasts like Arm Chuck Roast, 7-Bone Chuck Roast, or Cross Rib Chuck Roast. If you’re in a hurry, the Arm Chuck Steak and Blade Chuck Steak are perfect for grilling or searing.
Rib Cuts: Tender & Celebratory
Rib cuts are top choices for special occasions. Roast a Ribeye for a tender centerpiece. Or, if you love smoky flavors, grill a Ribeye Steak.
Loin Cuts: Elegant & Tender
Loin cuts are all about elegance and taste. Grill a Porterhouse Steak for a special meal, or go for the tenderloin, either as a roast or steak (Filet Mignon).
Sirloin Cuts: Lean & Versatile
Sirloin cuts are tasty and tender. Grill a Top Sirloin Steak, Coulotte Steak, Denver Steak, or Top Blade Steak for a delicious experience.
Round Cuts: Lean & Budget-Friendly
Round cuts are lean and versatile. Roast a Top Round for tenderness, or grill Top Round Steak or Tri-Tip Steak for a quick, lean meal.
Brisket Cuts: Slow & Satisfying
Brisket cuts, like Brisket Flat and Brisket Point, are great for roasting or smoking for flavorful dishes.
Plate & Flank Cuts: Bold & Beefy
Grill Skirt Steak or Flank Steak for intense beefy flavors. For rich and hearty options, try Country-Style Ribs or Short Ribs. Flank Steak is bold in flavor and perfect for grilling, especially when marinated.
