Beef and Velvet on These Heaux
Anthony Humphreys
Beef - it's what's for dinner. Too bad you've likely been limiting your dining options to overpriced cuts of steak. To testify it, we recruited chefs and butchers, the guys and gals who know beef best, and had them pit some of the most popular pieces of meat against bottom known (and cheaper) gems. We fifty-fifty laid out some average prices so you lot'll know exactly what your wallet is getting into. So say goodbye to the Rib Eye and how you lot doin' to the Denver Cut.
(While the cost of individual cuts volition vary wildly, these price ranges are typical of near butchers... provided your butcher is not in Dubai.)
Merlot Vs. Tenderloin
Weirdly enough, a "Merlot" cut isn't the dusty relic left on your parent's liquor shelf that you first snuck a swig from in high schoolhouse. No, every bit Josh Jones, chef at Salt and Time in Austin explains, "the merlot cutting is out of the shin. It's chosen 'Merlot' for its velvet texture." Information technology's piece of cake to compare to the Tenderloin because it'due south equally, duh, tender.
$12/lb vs. $25-35/lb
Chef Jones also recommends
Back Iron aka the Las Vegas Strip
"It's a good New York Strip replacement. It's lightly marbled with a bit of a fat cap."
$six/lb
Beef Navel
"Information technology'southward $3 per pound cheaper than brisket. Nosotros can break that Texas BBQ mold of brisket and offering something similar that's always cheaper."
$vi-7/lb
Flap Vs. Flank Steak
Too known equally the "Bavette Steak", the Flap rests right underneath the Flank. James Peisker, butcher at Porter Route Butcher in Nashville says of this unknown meat treat, "It's twice every bit thick, twice as flavorful, and commonly ii-thirds the price of Flank". He recommends trying fajitas ala Flap or a simple quick sear with chimichurri
$iv-5/lb vs. $7-viii/lb
Peisker also recommends
Chuck Eye Roast
"Everyone wants Prime Rib for the holidays, but that's not actually traditional. I like the Chuck Eye Roast because it's more flavorful. In that location's more chew, aye, only simply don't overcook it."
$8-$14/lb
Sirloin Cap
"Classic stews call for Tenderloin, but I adopt the Sirloin Cap. As a muscle, it does more work which makes it more flavorful. Information technology's still tender, but tough enough to break down as information technology cooks."
$12/lb
Chuck Center Steak Vs. Ribeye
"Information technology's frequently called 'the poor man's Ribeye'", says Michael Signorelli, head butcher at Underground Butcher in Madison -- but don't allow that throw you off. As Signorelli notes, treat this cutting no unlike than a Ribeye, "baste the sh*t out of it with butter", and yous should be good to become. In that location are only 8 of these cuts per steer, so if your butcher is carrying the stuff, purchase it.
$7/lb vs $17/lb
Signorelli too recommends
The Underblade
"This is the cut literally attached to the bract os and is often confused with the Denver Cut. The technical name is 'Subscaularis'. Cook it similar a flank, merely you don't need to tenderize information technology."
$thirteen/lb
The Denver Cut
"An astonishing grilling steak. It'southward got about the same fat content as a short rib, merely information technology's more tender. Grill it medium to best help render the fat."
$viii-9/lb
Tri-Tip vs. New York Strip
Missy Corey, Chef de Cuisine at Publican Quality Meats in Chicago, says "everybody ever goes for a Ribeye or New York Strip. People are disconnected from the idea that meat comes from a whole animate being and there are many, many other edible muscle groups." She notes that the Tri-Tip is a tiptop grilling cutting, which makes sense why information technology'southward then big in Cali where outdoor cooking is like shooting fish in a barrel all-year round and 90% of people apparently slumber on the beach. Simply she'southward got y'all cold-weather states covered...
$three-seven/lb vs $14-22/lb
Chef Corey likewise recommends
Beef Cheek
"Information technology's the ultimate braising cutting. Information technology'southward extremely seasonal for fall and wintertime."
$12/lb
Togue
"Information technology's a neat deli meat, sliced or grilled."
$iv-6/lb
