This Guide to Cuts of Beef Makes Sure You?re Never Confused at the Meat Counter Again

It can be pretty challenging to shop for beef if you don't know the difference between a shoulder blade steak and a center ranch steak. The difference in cost, size, and preferred cooking method can throw off even the best home cook. Thankfully this handy chart makes sure you're always prepared when buying and cooking beef.

The chart serves as a map to the cuts of beef you'll find in most grocery stores, along with icons indicating how that cut is best prepared?whether it's best on the grill, in a skillet, braised, roasted, stir fried, or even stewed. Plus, each cut is marked with its relative price, so you'll remember when you're in the grocery store which cuts are the more expensive ones, and what their average prices are so you can tell if you're getting a good deal.

Hit the link below (or click the image below to enlarge) to see the chart in its full-sized glory, or to download it for quick reference later. At the very least, you'll see the parts of the cow that your favorite cuts come from, and see if there are any more options that are easier cooking or aren't quite as expensive.
