beef cut

Sirloin or brisket

A beef cut is a specific portion of meat from a cow, divided according to the animal's anatomy.

Different cuts come from different parts—the tenderloin, the brisket, the ribeye, the chuck—each with distinct textures, fat content, and cooking requirements.

The butcher recommended a different beef cut for braising.
