Most of the people love steak. We can cook it at home or have it during special festivals like Valentine’s Day and Christmas. Steak can be both casual and premium ingredients. It caters the needs of different people.
Let’s learn the English vocabularies of different parts in a cow!
1. Chuck
This part exercise a lot so most muscle and tendons are distributed here.
2. Rib
This part does not exercise a lot so the meat is comparatively soft and tender with much fat. Beef ribs used for beef noodles are from this part.
3. Short loin
Filet mignon and T-bone steak are also in this part. The meat is rather chewy.
4. Sirloin
It is located near the buttock and back leg. There is not much fat and it is evenly distributed. Sirloin steak is the signature of this part.
5. Round
This part exercises a lot. There are many tendons and nearly no fat. The meat is rough which can be used to make dried beef.

Sellers usually cut away the fat before selling. It is suitable to cut into thin slices like the sliced beef.
7. Flat iron steak
It is so rare that there is only 5kg flat iron in a cow.
