T-bone and Porterhouse steaks are among the most expensive steaks on a menu because of the large individual portion size.

Other boneless chuck cuts include the chuck eye (boneless cuts from the center of the roll, sold as mock tender steak or chuck tender steak), chuck fillet (sold as chuck eye steak and chuck tender steak,) cross-rib roast (sold as cross-rib pot roast, English roast, or "the bread and butter cut"), top blade steak or chicken steak, under blade steak, shoulder steak and shoulder roast, and arm steak and arm roast.
The average meat market cuts thick and thin chuck steaks (often sold as chuck steak or chuck steak family pack) from the neck and shoulder, but some markets also cut it from the center of the cross-rib portion.
Short ribs are cut from the lip of the roll.
Some meat markets will sell cross-rib pot roast under the generic name "pot roast."
The difference between a pot roast and a cross-rib pot roast is the vertical line of fat separating the two types of chuck meat; the cross-rib pot roast contains the line of fat.
This is what creates richness of flavor in the roast.

The cut is common in Colombia, where it is known as "sobrebarriga", literally meaning "over the belly".
Flank steak is best when it has a bright red color.
Because it comes from a strong, well-exercised part of the cow, it is best sliced against the grain before serving, to maximise tenderness.
Flank steak is frequently used in Asian cuisine, often sold in Chinese markets as "stir-fry beef".
In the United Kingdom McDonald's uses "100% forequarter and flank" in its burger patties.
