The cow is divided into several large sections of beef called ‘Primal Cuts<\/strong><\/span><\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

The primal cuts are separated later into so-called ‘Sub-Primals Cuts<\/span><\/strong><\/em>‘ which are also later sliced and chopped into smaller individual pieces, like steak, roasts or other cuts which we use for cooking.<\/p>\n

In total there are about 100<\/span> individual types of sub-primal cuts but different countries divide them differently.<\/p>\n

In the USA, we break them into 8 major primal cuts while the EU countries break it differently, by creating 6 primal beef cuts. There are also countries which break the cow down to about 20 primal cuts. We are going to focus on the 8 Primal Cuts we have in the USA.<\/p>\n

When we look the cow diagram down below, you can notice that the front side of the cow covers the sections that are called the ‘Forequarter<\/em>‘ and the back of the cow have sections called ‘Hindquarter<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

Usually, the more tender cuts of beef tend to be located further from the horn or the head while the toughest areas are the shoulder cuts and the leg muscles as they tend to move more on the cow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
