A Guide for the Breakdown of Beef Cuts

Posted on October 24, 2023February 22, 2024 by txbaradmin

At TX Bar Grassfed Beef, our family has been in the cattle ranching game for five generations. And, we’re here to show you the ropes and make beef cuts easy to understand.

In this blog, we’re going to break down each of the beef cuts, so you’ll know what to do with them. Whether you’re a pro chef or just want to cook up tasty meals at home, getting to know your beef cuts is the first step.

Breakdown of Beef Cuts

Chuck Cuts

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

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

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

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

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

Brisket cuts, like Brisket Flat and Brisket Point, are great for roasting or smoking for flavorful dishes.

Plate & Flank Cuts

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.

Each beef cut offers a unique cooking experience. Whether you love tender or full-flavored, our TX Bar Grassfed Beef cuts have you covered.

Contact us today if you are interested in purchasing whole or half beef and want to put these cuts to the test.

					Travis, I thought I would touch base with you to let you know about the beef I got.  It weighed in at 725 pounds initially, and it weighed about... read more 430 pounds all cut up.  That includes the organ meet.  So far we have tried the ribeye, cattleman's cut, and top sirloin.  All the cuts were all good and tasty.  Of course the ribeye were very tender.  The hamburgers are among the best we have ever had.  I could eat them all day long.  Thanks to you and your family for supplying us with such a wonderful animal.

					I'm glad I gave these guys a try.  Travis makes the ordering process very easy.  The butcher shop he used, Los Molines Meats did a top notch job.... read more  The best part is, this is the best tasting beef I've gotten yet. I will definitely get my next beef from TX Bar Grassfed Cattle Company.

					This our 2nd whole cow that we have bought, can't say enough about the whole process, Travis is so knowledgeable from start to finish! BUT the meat is so good,... read more great beef favor and because being grass fed the meat is so much more nutrient dense. It's a win win. Won't go any where else!!

					Travis and his team at TX made this process easy and convenient for our first time direct beef purchase. I appreciated his quick responses to all of my various questions.... read more The meat is delicious and buying in bulk makes it extremely affordable.  The Los Molinos Butcher was great and patiently walked us through the variety of cuts. They also delivered all of the meat to my husband at the Red Bluff airport. They were awesome.  Most importantly we are happy to support a sustainably sourced grass fed beef that is also more humane for the animal.  Thank you!

					Great communication.  Expectations were clear. Timelines were met. We couldn’t be happier. We couldn’t find grass fed grass finished beef in our local stores so we found TX Bar... read more on the internet. Travis was quick to respond to texts, patient to explain the process as this was our first time. Overall great experience.

					My wife Eliza and I have purchased our second order from TX GrassFed and love the quality and flavor of the beef. Our first purchase was a half a beef... read more and it was so good we purchased a whole beef this time. Perfect flavor in every bite. The process of the purchase was easy and Travis was able to answer any questions we asked. We have shared this company with family and friends. You will not be disappointed! We also have been impressed with Los Molinos Meats. They are very helpful with info and giving us a choice on the cuts we prefer.  Keep up the great work!

					This was our first time in purchasing bulk grass-fed beef. I did a lot of research and Travis and his team at TX Bar kept showing up with high marks.... read more Their website is full of great information and the whole process could be easily handled over the website. I had some dumb questions and contacted Travis and he explained the entire process very simply and gracefully. We went with the whole beef and selected Los Molinos Meat for the butcher. Travis let us know when the "harvest date" was and then Tara at Los Molinos Meats contacted us to go through the cut list. Again, since it was our first time we didn't really know the options and she explained them step by step. I picked up the cut and wrapped beef yesterday and everything went very smoothly. We set out a package of filets for last nights dinner and I grilled them with just a bit of salt and pepper so we could get the taste of the beef. It was EXCELLENT! Can't wait to get into some of the other cuts but I am confident they will be the same. The picture is of our 17cuft freezer and doesn't show 120lbs of ground beef that we put in another freezer (took another shelf and a half). Great job and thank you to Travis and his team and Los Molinos Meats!

					This was my first experience buying beef off the hoof. I was so afraid I would mess it up.  Fortunately I found TXBAR, their advertisement is fantastic, it explains... read more so much. Even better than the advertisement, Travis. Travis  went out of his way to make it easy as possible for me. He even offered to call if I preferred. That means a lot to some of us older ones. Everything went just as Travis said it would go. He kept me informed of every step. I thank the butcher for her patience. She was helpful in explaining the different types of cuts to me. When we inventoried and put our beef away, I noticed I didn’t have the Cross Cut Shanks. The reason I didn’t have them , I told the butcher I didn’t want them. EVEN SO, Travis told me that I was more than welcome to them. He told me he would make it worth the return trip. One of the youngsters loaded the box into my vehicle. I didn’t see  what was in the box, until I returned home. Not only did he give me the C C Shanks, he gave me a BOX FULL of meat. He didn’t have to do that. Travis is a great guy. A honest man. A man of his word. It just keep getting better. The meat is DELICIOUS. I’ve told all my friends. Believe me you will tell all of yours, once you taste, this beef. Thank you Travis and your TX BAR  grass fed beef

					From the start I knew I chose the best in the business. Quick response and everything was lined out on from day one. Most fear grass fed and finished beef... read more is extremely “gamey” not the case. My only complaint is I only ordered a Half Cow. I will be placing another order this time a full cow. As far as pricing goes good luck finding a better deal and best of all I know what I’m eating. Let’s not forget about the butcher (the finished product) I hope they keep this company for the next one. She was beyond helpful in my selection of meat cuts and explained everything in great detail. The pickup was a ease and everything was vacuum sealed ready to go not butcher paper wrapped. Easily one of the best experiences I’ve had. Thanks TX Bar Grassfed  -Seth Laam Redding CA
