How to understand cuts of beef
Identify the eight main cuts in which beef is available.
These are loin, brisket, chuck, shank, round, short plate, flank and rib and are known as primal cuts. From these 8 main cuts there are many different minor beef cuts and are known as subprimal cuts.
Retail beef is usually labeled with the primal and sub-primal information. Choose loin for tender, flavorful beef.
