It seems that everyone’s favorite cut of meat is steak, at least in the United States. It is the prime choice of those with an expendable budget who can afford this type of thing.

Unfortunately, it is not accessible to everyone given its high price tag, but that helps to keep the enjoyment of this particular meal very high (or finding a skirt steak alternative).

If you know that you only get to enjoy something on occasion, then you are more likely to truly appreciate it when it comes along. However, we want to take a deeper look at what is so special about skirt steak and why it is so expensive.

Fans of Mexican cuisine and beef dishes may have gone out on a limb at some point and allowed themselves the joy of trying beef tongue.

It is truly a unique dining experience that can be appreciated by virtually anyone. You do need to have a strong stomach to handle this kind of thing though, as it is not a typical part of American cuisine.

If you decide that you want to be a bit adventurous, then beef tongue (or ox tongue) is a great treat, but you need to understand that it is going to test your taste buds in a lot of ways because it is so different from most American foods.

Do not let this be a deterrent to you. There are many great things about beef tongue meat that you will appreciate if you just give it a chance.

Before we talk about brisket flat, let’s zoom out for context. In the butchering process, the first pieces of meat that are separated from the carcass are known as the primal cuts.

Depending on who’s doing the butchering (and who’s doing the naming), there are 8 to 10 primal cuts — and these form the basis of every other cut and type of meat.

Though it was once regarded as good only for stew meat or grinding into hamburger patties, brisket is enjoying a renaissance. It’s an incredibly popular cut for cooking low and slow on a barbecue grill, infusing it with rich smoky flavors and transforming its tough muscle into tender and juicy meat.

To really make the best of this primal cut, though, you’ll have to know how to cook it, what to serve it with for a full meal, and more.

In this guide, I’ll be putting my experience working in South Carolina barbecue restaurants to good work — and I hope that I can share everything you’ll need to know to make the most of your brisket, be it flat, point, or a full cut.

One of the most tender cuts of meat from the chuck primal — the blade steak — is often overlooked because it requires some extra preparation. In fact, the full blade steak is often cut in two just to avoid its long center stripe of cartilage (aka gristle)!

But if you’re willing to do a little home butchering, the blade steak is an affordable and delicious cut.

As a result, they’re some of the leanest cuts of meat, and need to be prepared properly if you’re going to get the best taste and texture out of them (why you’ll likely see people using a serrated knife for slicing rather than a steak knife).

In this guide, we’ll give you the full rundown on bottom round steak, from how to cook it to nutrition facts, recipes, and tips for where to buy and how to store it.

Even the most ardent meat lover can have a hard time wrapping their mind around all the cuts of beef & steak. Where do certain cuts come from? What are the best cooking methods for each cut of meat?

Every cut of beef and steak is defined by where it comes from on the cow. Depending on which butcher you consult, there are 7 to 9 areas where beef cuts are taken from.

Also known as a sirloin tip steak or petite sirloin, the ball tip steak is an economical cut of beef. But if you want to get the best flavor and texture out of it, you’ll need a great recipe and a little culinary finesse.

Before we get into that, though, let’s take a closer look at just what a ball tip steak is. It’s a part of the sirloin, one of the juiciest and most flavorful cuts for steaks.

But instead of being taken from the top of the sirloin, a ball tip steak is taken from the bottom — right around the hip. This makes it an exceptionally lean, boneless cut that can be tough if it’s not properly prepared.
