Every Cut of Beef! (Almost) | Basics with Babish

I know that choosing the right cut of beef at the butcher or grocery store can be overwhelming. Once you know which cuts work in which scenario, choosing the right meat is a breeze! Special thanks to friends of the show, Porter Road, for walking us through the Basics!

Some beef cuts and recommended methods:
Chuck Roast: Grind, roast, or stew
Denver Steak: Sear or grill over high heat, serve rare
English Cut Short Ribs: Slow cook or smoke
Bone-In Ribeye: Grill or pan-sear, serve rare to medium rare
Tenderloin: Super tender, serve rare with a flavorful sauce
Strip Steak: Grill or pan-sear, serve rare to medium rare
Flank Steak: Great for marination and quick Sear, serve rare to medium-rare
Tri-Tip: Great for smoking or slow cooking
Sirloin: Lean and flavorful Cut, serve rare to medium rare
Shank: Mostly for Ossobuco, but great for all stews, try in pot au feu

Not gonna lie. Watching this man nerd out about his profession is heartwarming.

My favorite part about this video is how you DIDN'T INTERRUPT HIM!!! You let him educate and you respected his knowledge!! nothing gets me more than when an expert is trying to explain something in a video and the host keeps cutting them off asking some really dumb questions. Props to you!

Dear Mr. Andrew Rea, I was craving a great steak after seeing this video an went to my normal butcher. Low and behold he was all out of Tri Tip and said he had a weird influx of people this weekend. They were buying things that don't normally sell out. I blame the amazing quality of your videos for this. Thank you, the content you create is the best!

Friend: "So what'd you do on your Friday night?"


Me: "Oh, you know...just sat at home and watched two dudes talk about meat on youtube."

Not only do I love how knowledgeable the butcher is, he does a great job explaining the cuts, best way to cook them and the reason why.

Just got my first Porter Road box today! It arrived perfectly chilled despite a hot southern August day.

If you think for a second I'm going to watch a 31 min long video about food... well, you're god damn right.

This video is so informative. Love how this man KNOWS his business. And I love how Babish never interrupts his guests.

I’m not a huge beef eater (love a good steak every now and then) but after watching this, I want to buy everything from Porter Road from now on. Everything looked so good and dude was so knowledgeable I trust him like he’s my dad now. Thanks, Babish 👍🏾

[thestank]

Any steak lover can really appreciate a butcher with a passion for meat as much as this man has

[marcthompson]

Babish: "can you grill one of these up real quick"


Me: Where are you going? I want to see this!

[patockaphilipp]

This guy really knows his stuff! I love the way he describes every single cut and how the different meat-kinds react to heat.
Thank you very much for sharing this experience!👍
