butcher's cut
Cleaver-made meat piece
A butcher's cut is a portion of meat that comes from a specific part of an animal, prepared according to traditional butchering methods rather than mass-production processing.
The term often implies higher quality or more distinctive portions that require skill to separate properly, such as a hanger steak or flatiron.
Restaurants and meat markets use the phrase to suggest expertise and authenticity: The menu featured several butcher's cuts you won't find at the supermarket.
