Video Transcript:
Here we have our cow that we drew out and broke down into segments and the different cuts of meat in this cow. We'll start here with the round. The round is the back part of the cow. We have the bottom, the rump, the tip, the top, and the eye. This one in particular is good for more roasting.
The sirloin has the top butt, the bottom butt and the tri-tip. One of the more popular items in the past years has been the tri-tip. It's harder to find around here where we're at, but generally this is the area. You can get some steaks out of that, they're on the leaner side and inexpensive, but not my favorite cut of meat for steaks.
The short loin, that's getting to the more popular cuts of meat when it comes to steak. In there you get the porterhouse, the T-bone, the tenderloin and the top loin. The tenderloin is a long loin that will run along here and it's the part of the cow that doesn't get used as much. It's expensive, lean, and not as much fat, but that's where you get the filet mignon. You barb it with some bacon and grill it. The porterhouse and the T-bone have portions of the tenderloin as well as the New York strip which is the loin, and as you get more down one side, you get the smaller tenderloin, so you get the T-bone. The porterhouse has bigger portions.
Down on the rib, we have the small end, the large end, the ribeye and the baby-back ribs. The ribeye is my favorite part of the meat. It has more fat and some tender parts. Slow roasting it, making prime rib is my favorite.
We have a big chunk and as you can see here, a lot can come out of that particular area. When I purchase burger meat, I generally use this area, because I know that it came from this specific part of the cow.
Down here we have the flank. The flank steak is becoming more popular. Cut it against the grain and you can grill that up, marinade it, many different things.
The plate-a couple popular steaks have been taken off of here from the restaurant. Hangars and skirts, you can use those many different ways, a lot of times being marinaded.
The shank which also has a lot of my favorite parts, a lot of times gets looked past. You can use it in soups and stews because it has the bone. That can give a lot of flavor to whatever you're using it with. If you were to just take a piece of shank, throw it on the grill, it'd likely be very tough, hard to eat, so braising is a recommendation for that.
The brisket is a lot of times smoked, it's real tough. So go low and slow for a long time to tenderize that. The innards, obviously you can use for a long time.
USDA has certification classifications that allow you to find out the quality. We put the best at the top. Prime is the best, but you're going to pay for it. So choice is second in line for USDA certification. That is what you'll be able to find at the nicer grocery market. You can request it at the butcher. I recommend that. Select is lower end, you get a discount. And the no-roll is not even graded.
So to kind of give an idea of the difference is between each of them and the way that they are is that it's fattened. If there isn't much fat, it's a lower quality. The more, the better. So you'll be able to see just by picking up a steak, the lines of fat that go through there, the better the quality. I personally like choice. There's more bang for your buck. They have a brand out there, Certified Angus Beef, and they charge more for that, but that's the higher more quality 2/3 of the choice.
The way that the USDA certification works is more or less a conveyor belt. They have a gun that they scan over the meat and it reads how much fat is in the meat and that's how they get their certification. If one cow is broken down, parts of it could be prime quality; parts of it could be select. The radar, more or less the gun, will define it and define if it's prime or choice. Prime is more expensive because it's harder to come by. The more fat in their food and diet that they eat, the more fat is in their meat. But the more food they feed them, the more expensive the cow becomes and the higher cost of the meat overall.

With such a clear voice and slow speed, I really learn a lot! Thank you for the time and hard work.
THANK YOU. You are a very good teacher.Your video was very informative.
I have been seriously Meat cutter now fire about 2 years and you have taught me so much more than what my idiot boss say trying to teach me. Thank you very much!!!
coming from a butcher this guy is spot on I will say one thing though. if you're in the states 99 times out of a 100 you're gonna get beef finished off with corn. and ideally and price-wise its the best. mainly because fat = tenderness. but I will say true grass fed beef has a certain gamey taste that really intensifies the flavor, its not something you always have to go for but once a year give a grass fed ribeye a go and try not to orgasm too hard. Also for anyone paying attention a ribeye is the top loin after the short loin up to the 6th rib, there's this cut called the chuckeye. its the exact same muscle as the ribeye just on the 5th rib side, I sell them for 6 bucks a lb opposed to the 14 a lb for ribeyes.
Right on with the grass fed. My dad has been raising bison since 1976. All bison is lean compared to pretty much any beef. Over 90% (probably more than 95) of bison now is grain finished. I like strong flavor... meat flavor. I've had some bites of "premium" beef steaks that my friend thinks are just fantastic. They taste like nothing other than beef fat. And really soft and squishy. Not my thing, but if he likes it, good for him. For years I thought I didn't like deer, because I'd had some that was given to us by a family friend. Tasted like old liver that was starting to turn bad. I started shooting my own deer and hang them in my walk in cooler for about two weeks. Fantastic meat. Same with hogs. I much prefer the wild ones from where I get them in sw Arkansas. I think it's a shame a lot of people shoot them and leave them for the scavengers. Everything from 50 lb piglets to 300+ lb boars I can smell from 50 yards away have all tasted great. Much more flavor and not full of water like the confinement pork.
White Oak Farms out of GA has its own slaughter house. They never take the cows to corn to finish they have the seal that proves it I can’t find that seal on many that say that they mostly finish in corn
Happy looking cow
Thank you very very much. Very educational and you are a good teacher bud. Stayed right on topic with lots of useful tips.
Tri-tip steaks are excellent, one of my favorites.

Very informative. I learned a lot from your video as far as the types of meat in the world and types of cuts.
This is great, I enjoy a bargain when I purchase meat; so I want too know what I am getting. Thank you.
You're welcome mcgcamp1! Thanks for sharing!
Great video for the cuts. Slightly wrong about the Wagyu statement. A lot of people in the comment section seem to have caught it. But many in the comments section also seem to be confused about it.
Wagyu is a Japanese breed of cow. You CAN raise and butcher a wagyu cow in a country outside of Japan and it will still be called "wagyu". America has been importing the cow and raising them in the USA since 1975. So he is not wrong by saying America has wagyu. Any country that has imported the Japanese breed of cow called wagyu can produce wagyu beef.
Kobe beef is wagyu (Japanese breed of cow) raised in Kobe, Japan with their own high standards.
The slightly wrong statement was that he said Wagyu is American version of Kobe... the more accurate statement would be that both are wagyu, one is made in Kobe Japan and the other can be made anywhere in the world.
Been looking for a chart or vid that shows both the cut and the section of the cow. Just had Brazilian BBQ. The "House Cut" is called pecanha - top rump, try tip area. It has a layer of fat on the outside and looks sooo good. I'm easily satisfied with the flap steak (carne asada). I'm having great success broiling the rib eye. Makes me think I'm a great cook.
Good Stuff, Great Tips😃👍🏿
that cow looks happy.
Well presented. I can tell you're a decent guy. Cheers!
I love that he gave the cow pig ears.
It's really helpful to me thank you
So kind of you.
Thank you.
Nicely done thanks

I really need to take your advice and talk to my market butcher. I need to get more info on the beef, chicken etc and stop paying for fat and bone I can live without. THax!
Nice video, but you forgot to mention cow cheek, one of my favourite parts, and also popular in Spain.
Thank you for this easy to understand and applicable explanations. I'm telling you, I've watched others and they were way toooooooooo meaty !>.. LOL
thanks for the video, good stuff.
Thanks, that is a whole lot of good information.
Very well explained.
Pero si pones una vision del corte real ,al natural sera mas claro aun
Great Video-very informative !
Brilliant. Thank you so much.
Pasture raised & finished all the way 👍🏼
Very informative
Often differrent butchers have different names for the same cut of beef. ( EX:prime rib, rib roast) can you cover the verying names for the different cuts?
When you buy 'prime' rib at the grocery store, you are buying a rib roast, or a standing rib roast. Grocery stores don't normally carry 'prime' meat, they carry 'choice' meat, but it's almost always called prime rib so the consumer knows what they're buying, and how to prepare it. Even the places serving all you can eat prime rib are really serving either 'choice' or 'select' rib roast. Prime grade beef is the very best, and is bought up by top restaurateurs at the packing houses. Hope that helps.
That was really handy, Blake - thanks. P.S. - certification, not certifacation.
I don't remember ribeye steak about 15years ago was it cut differently?
Thanks for this 😊
Good job man
Thank you.
I dunno what it is but I enjoy the NY Strip over the ribeye..but both are fantastic.
great video, as we Brits cut up cows kinda different and this helps when ordering. But as an avowed Nipponophile, Wagyu is the breed and the best Wagyu comes from Kobe.
nice butchery, thanks!
Kobe beef IS wagyu beef. It's the same breed, it just comes from Kobe, Japan, where they have different generational standards of raising their cattle. You have "Kobe-style" which comes a lot out of Texas. It's just Wagyu crossed with Angus and raised in Texas. It's a lot like getting a Philadelphia Cheese steak from Orlando, Florida. But yeah, "wagyu" literally translates into "japanese cow". Other than the fact that you put Kobe and Wagyu into two different breeds, good video.
Thanks it helps a lot!!
Wagyu literally means "Japanese Cow" (和牛). Kobe beef is the beef specifically from the Kobe region of Japan.
The fact he does not know the differences between Kobe and Wagyu completely discredits him for me...
Guess you don't listen very well. He mentioned that.
tgziceblood Yes absolutely. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He even said, Wagyu is what it is called in America. *facepalm*
Excellent! Thanks for the information.
I worder how they price them?
What about our grass fed and finished Beef product? Can you maybe answer some questions or maybe do a video on that? If fatter is a better grade and grass fed and finished is leaner why is it so expensive? I'm in the Military and retiring next year. I have been leaning all I can about butchering and selling our Beef. We love your video on this. I do help a butcher on my off time and plan to take some classes to at least understand what I'm selling. We have a cow farm and leaning how to sell our Beef to a butcher and to get it to our customers instead of taking it to auction.
its helpful . thank u dear
sir ur video is very use full thank u sir
thank you
very useful
Which cut is best for a crockpot? For a grill? And for a pressure cooker? Thank you for the video 👩🏻🍳
Wow that's informative
I am interested to learn
Thank You 💕
great n helpfull thanx
Which apart Of The Cow Does Ground Beef Come From
Where is the prime rib found on a beef carcass?
awesome
Good, informative video. But you mispelled "certification".
This is really helpful so thanks heaps! I got a question, for fitness models who need a source of protein with minimum fat, is tenderloin the best option ?
Thanks.
There is virtually no fat in the tenderloin. It is you most lean cut. As said earlier, you will pay high for it.
Why is prime rib hard to come by? Don’t most cows have a decent amount of fat on them since they eat a lot?
Flat meat carne ranchera in spanish what part of the cow is that? Also what meat do you recommend that has less fat and not cheap part of the cow and also tasty.
+Danny Martinez I believe that is what we consider a flank steak or skirt steak.
What the best cuts for roast ? I been using chuck roast for smoking . Is english roast better ?
Chateaubriand ?
What cut could I use that's good for a beef curry?
Which parts are suitable for vegetarians?
What is a London broil? Are they good?
A London Broil, in my opinion, is a tough cut of meat wrapped with bacon. London Broil is more of a cooking method rather than a cut of meat but is commonly a flank or top round steak. It is best to marinate it overnight and then broil it under high heat and then slice it thin "across the grain".
What is the best kind of meat for burgers
Is the spare rib same as short ribs?
The beer and massage part is a myth about KOBE beef.
The grading the government used is a joke. It’s just away to classify beef from high to lower prices you pay.
I just had a steer process and my 1/2 of the steer was 280 lbs and price per pound was $1.48 to have it processed at a facility.
Cool...
Hi sir i am butcber student sir i request u to make video of the beef ecah steak portion And size wight sir please
