Favourite cuts of meat!

[Cliffhanger]

I have been meaning to start this thread for awhile but it keeps slipping my mind or at least I am pretty sure it slipped my mind and I didn't get around to it a few weeks ago.

When I first started eating meat again I was all about blade steak, now I find it boring and bland. My current favourite is T-Bone, which I hated when I first had it after starting to eat meat again. That was mainly because my uncle's girlfriend made it way to rare and it was awful.

Anyway I cannot emphasise how important this topic is. So discuss, debate, judge, get vicious! Defend your favourite cut as if you were defending your first born son!

A really lean fillet of Roo. Goat back straps also float the boat when nicely stewed in a good curry.

Edit: not beef, true - tastier than beef!

I dont mind T-Bone.. But I prefer to either get Porterhouse or Rib Fillet. Porterhouse is the larger side of the T-Bone and Rib Fillet is the smaller and more tender side.

Rib Fillet usually has more fat through it making it more tender and more flavoursome.

I dont really enjoy rump and find it quite hard to find a good tender rump, rump does not have much fat in it apart from the edge which can make it a bit tough and bland.

At the moment in my freezer I have Rib Fillet and Chuck steak. Chuck is for slow cooking and casseroles and it is very tough if you dont cook it right.

I don't mind Kangaroo but beef is so much better!

Rib fillet for sure.

Blade is rubbish cliffy, that shit is more for stews and casseroles.

black angus

Thats the name of a company/cow. Not a cut of beef.

Is Sirloin also called porterhouse?

Oh and my dogs favourite cut is Brisket

black angus rump

I think a lot has to do with what you are doing with said cut of beef.

Roasting - Topside
Barbeque - Rib Fillet
Casseroles/Slow cook/Brazing - Chuck/Blade
Mincing - Chuck/Blade/Rump

Nothing beats a wagyu scotch fillet

 

[Rhino_NQ]

eating the whole cow is also good

 

[Cliffhanger]

Blade is for mincing! No wonder I started hating it as a steak!

You wouldn't want anything to beat it for $60 a kilo.

Rump. Great all-round cut.
