I did this, bought an 85 dollar whole loin. Cut it into 13 steaks. It is a bit of work, cutting, doing a bit of trimming, and then bagging for freezing, but worth it for a steak for $6.50.

This is one thing I value so much about my time working in a grocery store. Spent a year and a half working in the meat department and I was really pushy about them teaching me how to cut everything. Learned about all the cuts of meat and how to process whole primals. Good times. Didn’t know about the top sirloin creeping into the strip though. Thank you for that.

The connective tissues (tendons) have health benefits and it would serve well as scraps for a beef broth (along with the other scraps in the throwaway pile). They’re rich in collagen and nutrients. There’s really no waste with meat down to their bones.

Strip steaks are the favorite cut at our house. This was so informative. Thank you!

@ButcherWizard - I am wondering if you could show us how to break down a Chuck Roast & get the Chuck eyes out of it, please.

We buy whole chunks of meat (lots of Ribeye's) to cut up at home, I just feel better about doing it myself even process my whole deer from the harvest to the table. Loving your videos, now I really know what to do with all the trimmings and how to make the cuts look professional. Thanks for sharing your recipes too have to give them a try. Glad I found your channel and going to share it with my buddies.
Might do a video on vacuum sealing the meats after cutting them for your subscribers. It's simple and meat last long. Maybe you already have, I've not watched all your videos yet.

Excellent technique. Trim AFTER cutting the steaks. The sirloin end makes a slow cooker pot roast or ground beef. THUMBS UP.

[willaerley]

Thanks for the info on the top sirloin. Maybe, you could do a whole video on what to look for at the grocery store meat section.

Here in the UK we actually call this cut a sirloin, and what you call sirloin we call rump (and we also eat that as a steak). The strip is by far the most popular steak over here, and we leave the tip on.

Well right now I can't even afford the price of the knife nevermind the price for the whole tenderloin. I pray 23 is a better year for me, 22 has been nothing but struggle to even keep gas in the car to get to and forth to work. Thanks for this video guide, I will definitely be using your guides to save some money on my beef protein and hopefully soon.

[DevanteWeary]

Can I suggest smacking a small hole in the corner of the bag before you even open it? Then you can tilt it into a bowl to get most of that liquid out before cutting the bag open.

I’d like to see how you break down a pichana (top sirloin). They sell them at Costco. Taste amazing after a sous vide and quick sear on the grill.

I laughed so hard when you started to sing " the strip loins connected to the " . Thanks for this video.

[jameswatson]

You are awesome! ~ I know this stuff, but you really explain and SHOW - TEACH it so well. You are fun and entertaining to watch and doing a great job. Keep it up and, MAN I would love to share some steaks (AND DRINKS) with you sometime. I think you would be great company.

[UncleKauffee]

Nice.
Literally anyone can cut their own boneless Strips, ribs, & tenderloins. It can be learned very quickly, and they are super basic.
They are not just about the easiest beef in the world to cut yourself… they are also the best cuts.
I constantly try to encourage people to buy in bulk and cut themselves.
When I cut my meat at home, there is no waste. I use every bit of what I take off for one thing or another.
Save money, check
Better cuts than from a store, check
Eat good, check

I just did mine. I wrapped it in tin foil and then put them in a ziplock. I've been wrapping it with tin and it actually works

[chrisanthony]

Your video's are motivating me to cut my own steaks more often. Thanks!

[despicablememe]

My store slices the sirloin end thinly for Philly steak meat

[miamited]

would love to see your magic on a brisket.

[mikesmith]

I can't count the number of deer I've butchered myself over my (ahum) years, but I always learn something from you! Question: do you super chill the meat before cutting it, so it is firmer?
