Wolverine Packing Company Presents Recommendations On Buying A Really Perfect Cut

of Beef

A great tasting, juicy, flavorful steak is a most desired meal for many individuals. Whether you

enjoy your meat rare or well done, there are not many dishes that are as scrumptious and hearty

as a correctly prepared steak in conjunction with the best side dishes. When it involves the right

cut of beef, men and women are torn. For quite a few it may be a filet mignon, for other people it

may be a New York strip steak and for still other folks a Porterhouse seasoned to perfection. The

most convenient way to figure out your appropriate cut of beef is to be familiar with the varied

cuts of beef. In the next paragraphs, we examine some of the foremost common cuts of beef.

The T-Bone Steak

The T-bone is a mix of two different lean and tender steaks. It contains the top loan strip and

tenderloin steaks connected via the T-shaped bone. The t-bone is fantastic on the grill or on the

broiler with rich flavor and a tender texture.

Filet Mignon

The filet mignon is the crème de la crème of beef cuts. It is the most tender and delicious steak

with a very rich taste and buttery texture. It is also a lean cut, which belies the rich flavor.

Rib Eye

This unique and flavorful cut of beef is also known as the Delmonico. It is cut from the rib area

of the cow, but is boneless by the time it reaches the supermarket. The rib eye is special for its

marbling - the more marbling the more tender the meat is. Rich in flavor, this cut of steak is

popular in France and French restaurants.

The Porterhouse

The Porterhouse, like the T-Bone, has a t-shaped bone joining the tenderloin and top loin. The

main difference between the T-bone and Porterhouse is in its size. The Porterhouse is thicker and

is made up of more tenderloin than the loin portion. If the bone is removed from the Porterhouse

you basically end up with a tenderloin and New York strip steak. A Porterhouse is normally

large enough to be shared by two or more people.

Strip Steak

The strip steak, also called New York Strip Steak is lean, tender and full-flavored. It is a quick

cooking steak, so those that prefer their beef on the rare side should be careful when cooking.

This famous cut of steak is much more affordable than several other cuts, but every bit as

delicious.

Tenderloin Roast

The tenderloin roast is the highest-quality beef roast on the market. It is lean and carries a

delicious and mouth-watering flavor. This cut can be sold as a whole roast or cut into smaller,

center cut roasts.

Prime Rib

What list of perfect beef cuts would be complete without mentioning Prime Rib? This cut of beef

is rich in flavor, tender and juicy. It is regarded as the grand champion of beef roasts as well as

one of the most tender cuts of beef.

That ends our examination of the Perfect Cut of Beef. Many more cuts of beef can be found apart

from the few discussed here. As you can see, there are usually many different cuts of beef,

locating your favorite is a delicious prospect of taste testing.
