Below is a chart detailing the various cuts of beef you are likely to encounter. The different parts of the cow are more suitable for different cooking methods than others. If you know your cuts you can ensure you select the most appropriate beef cut for your selected cooking method – avoiding unnecessary cost and lessening the chance of incorrect cooking.

Nowadays, many cuts are sold with less fat, but at The Meat Shop our aim remains the same, as should be the same for all good butchers – to ensure that

1.

each cut cooks in the same way every time.

2.

you only get the meat you want to eat – sometimes still on the bone or with a little fat to assist with cooking and to enhance the flavour.

One of the best things about buying your beef from The Meat Shop – a REAL Butcher Online – is that you can have your cuts prepared exactly as you want them….and if you’re not sure how you want them, all you have to do is give us a call on 01992 701380 or drop us an email.

We will be delighted to help in any way we can.
