This cut comes from the shoulder and is packed with lots of rich flavors. Perfect for pot roast!

9- BRISKET
Featured in barbecue competitions across the country! Famous for its sloooooooow cooking method, the brisket is located along the pectoral of the cow, and when cooked over an extended period of time on low heat, has a nice dense texture that falls apart with ease. Sold as a point, flat, or whole.
COOKING METHODS
Grill, Slow-Roast, Smoke
6- FLANK
The flank steak is long and lean without much fat and has a lot of fibers running through it. Soaks up marinade really well. Great for stuffing or rolling, or slice it up for a quick stir-fry. Pro-tip: Cut against the grain for maximum tenderness.
COOKING METHODS
Broil, Grill, Pan Fry
7- PLATE
The plate is right underneath the ribs and has a high-fat content. This is where ever-popular short ribs come from, as well as skirt steak.
COOKING METHODS
Braise, Grill
8- FORE SHANK
The lower part of the front legs contains the shin and the hock. Because these muscles work so hard, they’ve built up some strong tendons and muscle tissue, which can be tough at first, but in the end, contribute to its rich and dynamic flavor. Great for making superb beef stock.
COOKING METHODS
Braise, Slow-Cook
