What is your favorite cut of beef?

Did you know that a 1200 pound steer yields 500 pounds of retail cuts from a 750 pound carcass?
Moo.

Filet.

But the very best steak I’ve ever eaten was a sirloin in Indiana, at the bachelor party of my best friend from college. His best friend from high school’s uncle had won a a ribbon for his steer a year previously. He bought steaks that had been slaughtered that day and put them on a sizzling hot charcoal grill for mere minutes. Absolute bliss.

There are certain meals you just thank Og that you’re alive for.

Originally for giggles I was going to just make it a “check only one box” poll but even I thought that was ridiculous.

A well-marbled ribeye, about 1 3/4 inches thick. For the wife it’s a fillet.

Ribeye is by far my favorite, but if a Porterhouse is on sale, I’ll take that too.

6

What, no oxtail!? :wink:

My absolute favorite is a well smoked brisket. For steak I prefer ribeye but I’m not going to turn my nose up at a porterhouse or fillet.

Basically, although I voted, I’d simplify it thus:

Steak cut: Bone-in ribeye
Stewing/Braising cut: Short rib
Smoking cut: Brisket (with a preference to the fattier point/deckle, rather than the leaner flat)

mouth watering Awesome poll. This makes me want to try more beef as I didn’t feel qualified to comment on a lot of the selections.

New Yorks are a good ole stanby and Tenderloins are the creme de la creme. VIVA LA TENDERLOIN!

One day I will be rich for my invention of the all-tenderloin cow and the all-bacon pig.

Ribeye or a delmonico if I’m feeling flush and near a butcher.

10

I thought a delmonico was a ribeye. More or less.

11

It’s a name that varies by region. Here’s the various cuts that go by that name. More info. It can be:

  1. Last boneless chuck-eye steak
  2. Any bone-in rib steak
  3. Any bone-in rib-eye steak
  4. First boneless rib-eye steak
  5. Any boneless rib-eye steak
  6. First bone-in top loin steak
  7. Any bone-in top loin steak
  8. Any boneless top loin steak (New York or Kansas City Strip, for example)

Only one choice for me: Ribeye. Don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of other cuts as well, but I’m a ribeye girl. Medium Rare. Oh man, I want one now.

Awww… I thought I might actually get to have a vote when I got near the bottom.

I’m not a Vegetarian, I just don’t eat Beef.
And this didn’t make me queasy, nor hungry really- I just ate a delicious chicken burrito.
