Know Your Cuts You don't have to be a gourmet chef or foodie to know your cuts of meat. Having an idea about which cuts work best for this dish or that recipe comes in handy when you're cooking at home more often. Our Discover Blog is a great resource for recipes and kitchen tips. Grilling season is just around the corner, so grills across America will come out to sing the savory songs of summer cooking. If you want a great beef steak, the filet mignon comes from the smaller end of the tenderloin in the short loin. The shortloin is where we find some of the best grilling steaks. They are tender and juicy and require less cooking times. These cuts include: T-Bone, Delmonico, NY Strip Steak, and Tenderloin. The NY Strip is tender and lean and might be the perfect steak for grilling. The ribeye is a fattier cut from the rib section where we also get the standing rib roast. The ribeye can be cut with bone-in or bone-less. Remember grass-fed meats are leaner and require less time on heat. Watch your cooking times and temperatures. The chuck primal includes some affordable and delicious cuts for family meals. These might not be as tender, but braised or slow cooked, they are a real treat. Flat iron steak, chuck roast, minute steaks, ground beef, teres major and more come from this area. The terres major or shoulder tender is also an ideal cut for grilling. It's shaped much like the tenderloin, but is more affordable and can be cut into medallions or as a big, thick, tender steak. This is just a sampling of our favorite cuts. There are many more and we encourage you to explore the store for unique and special cuts from nose to tail. US Wellness specializes in 100% grass-fed and pasture raised meats. Our farms have given up conventional farming methods for a more back-to-nature approach with the desire to bring better quality, more nutritious food to your table.
