Everything You Need To Know About Steak Cuts

[nazzysmith]

If you get onto an decent butcher you can get any cut you want, I usually just buy a full rump, scotch fillet or sometimes eye fillet and either get them to cut it up for me to desired thickness or do it myself before putting into separate bags and freezing, almost never buy a single steak and never from a supermarket unless a complete emergency....

Interdasting..... The quality controls on super market meat is much higher than a butcher's...

I agree with not turning more than once - I hated eating steak for years due to it being cooked like that.

I buy from the supermarket - I've tried several butchers and to be honest the meat is no better, and sometimes worse than the supermarket (given this is more the 'wholesale' butchers than the top shelf ones who supply the restaurants). I find that Coles is consistently cheaper than Woolies too.

go the wollies msa graded meat... Generally speaking the supermarket meat will last longer in the fridge and will hold its freshness longer...

A good butcher will have excellent beef... However shelf life will become comprised...

Grass fed eye fillet from Harris farm for $12 a kg at the moment.

Cant beat that price

That certainly is a tidy price

Proper tenderloin fillet or gerello?
If it's tenderloin, it's an excellent price... Not so much if it's gerello

Half those cuts I don't see in my supermarket, I'm curious if any butchers have them because I'd love to try them all.
