Primal Cut

A Primal Cut or Primary Cut is a piece of meat initially separated from the carcass of an animal during butchering. Examples of primal cuts include the beef round, loin, rib, and chuck for beef; the shoulder, loin, leg, and belly for pork; and the breast, leg, and wing for poultry.

Beef Primal Cuts

Beef is divided into large sections called primal cuts, which you can think of as the pieces of meat a butcher might separate from a carcass during the initial breakdown. These are the basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut.

Round

The beef round is a large primal cut, mainly used for roasts, stews, and slow cooking. It's also the source of the rump steak and eye of round steak.

Loin

The bein loin is a highly valued primal cut. It's where we get filet mignon, tenderloin steak, and T-bone steak.

Rib

The beef rib primal cut is the source of ribeye steaks and prime rib.

Chuck

The beef chuck primal cut is a versatile section, used for pot roasts, stew meat, and ground beef.

Pork Primal Cuts

Pork primal cuts are similar to those of beef. They include the shoulder, loin, belly, and leg.

Shoulder

The pork shoulder is a tough cut of meat that, when cooked slowly, becomes juicy and tender. It's often used for pulled pork.

Loin

The pork loin is a large, lean cut of meat. It's the source of pork loin roast, pork loin chops, and baby back ribs.

Belly

The pork belly is a boneless cut of fatty meat from the belly of a pig. It's used to make bacon and spare ribs.

Leg

The pork leg is a large primal cut, often cured to make ham.

Poultry Primal Cuts

Poultry primal cuts include the breast, leg, and wing.

Breast

The chicken breast is a lean cut of meat, often used for chicken cutlets and chicken sandwiches.

Leg

The chicken leg includes the thigh and drumstick. It's a flavorful, often inexpensive cut, perfect for roasting or frying.

Wing

The chicken wing is a small cut, often served as a snack or appetizer.
