Beyond the Ribeye: 3 Beef Cuts Worth Trying

By



Ask most home cooks to name a cut of beef, and you'll get the same handful of answers: ribeye, filet, maybe a strip steak on a good night. There's a whole list of cuts that rarely make it into the rotation, even though they cook up just as well and often cost less.

If you're used to ordering the same grass fed and finished beef online again and again, a few lesser-known cuts are worth making room for, especially ones that taste like an upgrade without the higher price tag.

Sear Petite Tender for a Filet-Like Bite

Grass fed and finished petite tender comes from a small, well-worked part of the shoulder, and it cooks up nearly as tender as a filet with a richer, more traditional beef flavor.

Lean, fine-grained, and mimicking the tender texture of a traditional tenderloin, it's best cooked on a hot pan with a quick sear on each side. Let it rest for a few minutes so the juices settle back in, then serve it whole or sliced over a simple side.

Grill Flat Iron for a Juicy, Affordable Cut

Flat iron steak is known for beautiful marbling and rich flavor that holds its own against pricier cuts, proof that grass fed steak doesn't have to mean just one or two options.

Ideal for grilling, broiling, or searing in a hot cast-iron pan, it delivers a juicy bite every time. Pair with simple seasoning or a quick marinade, and it transforms into an affordable cut for tacos, salads, or a plate of its own.

Slice Skirt Steak Thin for Bold Flavor

Looking for bold flavor? Grass-fed and finished skirt steak delivers. Coarse-grained and with more fat and marbling than a flank steak, it’s perfect for quick cooks and slicing thin against the grain to make bites easier to chew.

Add to your fajitas, stir fry, or carne asada for unbeatably deep, beefy flavor.
