Morning all,
I am wondering if anyone has a Top 10 kind of list of beef cuts for steak. I love my steak on the weekends, or any nice day where we can get the BBQ going, and have a nice frosty mug of beer.
Anyway, when I get over to Costco, they sell some nice cuts of meat, all Triple A, ( the best quality for Canada ), but I have no clue what I should stay away from and go for when I'm in the regular grocery store.
Does anyone have some sort of list, or know of one where it would show an amateur what to look for, i.e. what cut to buy when looking for a good quality steak.... ?
When you see meats listed in the weekly grocery store flyer, they list the actual cut of the meat and the price, but I have no clue where good steak cuts stop and where the not so good cuts begin. I know from looking at the price what good steaks are, but have trouble with the ones grocery stores try to "push" as great but they are in reality not that great.
Also......
I came across a beautiful chart for beef cuts that was posted by Chris ( the owner of our forum ) it was in the advanced section, under the topic of "Explaining brisket to a butcher",
anyway the link to the chart is here :

you need to have Adobe AcrobatReader installed to view it .
Thanks much in advance !, sorry for the long winded post.
