American Beef Cuts

[Medusa]

Hi All,

Here's a link to a document that I kit-bashed from a few websites. Some, but not all, of the links may take you to various websites with more info about a particular beef cut.

Hopefully, you can download the document if you wish. I keep a copy of it within "Dropbox" on my iPhone. (just in case someone suddenly asks me a question about where does flank steak come from )

Thanks Medusa. Quick- where does flank steak come from??

Section #9 on the 2nd diagram "The Flank", right behind #8, "The Plate" - LOL!

The Flank?

@Medusa- agreed. Meathead's pork cuts graphics are the best I've ever seen. http://amazingribs.com/recipes/porkn...pork_cuts.html

Agreed Indeed! I think it is really cool with the different orientations especially with the tenderloins illustrated. Last time I was at the grocery store I paid attention to the difference in size, etc. regarding pork loin vs. pork tenderloin.

I agree... It is a really good idea to know where a cut of meat comes from... if it comes from the shoulder area, I am gonna cook it different than if it comes from the loin area. It is good to know.

Eight years later, just what the doctor ordered. Thank you!
