So while I was looking at wikipedia for prime rib, there was a pitcure of a cow and the different kind of cuts of beef. There are 11 different cuts of the cow, which is a whole cow.
The first is the Chuck which is primarily used for hamburgers.
The second is ribs which is where prime rib and ribs come from.
The third is the short loin which is for the porterhouse steak.
The fourth fifth and sixth are the sirloins where the most tender cuts come from.
The seventh is the round, which is a lean tough cut of the cow.
The eighth is brisket which is used for its name.
The nineth is the shank which is the toughest of cuts so it is primarily used for soups.
The tenth is the plate which is a cheap steak used for things like a skirt steak.
The elventh is the plank which is used for the london broil.
Thats all for now... have a great weekend!
