Best suited to slow cooking, roasting or braising for a tender result. Kept as a whole steak, diced or cut into strips for stir-fry, the blade is a versatile option.
A boneless cut, the Navel-end Brisket comes from the lower chest area of the forequarter, from the 6th to 12th ribs. Ideal for slow, moist cooking methods such as casseroling and braising.
Eye Roll Roll (Cap on)
Tender
Brisket (Point-end)
Chuck
A boneless cut, the Point-end Brisket comes from the upper chest area of the forequarter, from the 1st to 5th ribs. It is commonly used in braising (pot-roast), smoking and can be made into corned beef.

Flank

Ribeye Roll / Cube Roll
Short Ribs
A boneless cut, the Ribeye (also known as a Cube Roll or Scotch Fillet) is the eye muscle adjacent to the backbone, between the Chuck and Striploin. Cut from between the 5th and 6th ribs extending down to the 12th rib to give a 7-rib roll. It is both flavourful and tender making it very good for slow oven roasting and grilling. Whole Scotch Fillet is a well-flavoured roasting cut which carves into beautiful neat slices.
Short Ribs are taken from the forequarter after the Brisket is removed. They are made up of the rib bone and layers of rib meat and fat. Rich and tasty, Short Ribs take on flavour well, and are tender and moist when slow cooked.
Flat
Outside leg
Rump Rump steaks are a lean cut with little fat, which can make it a little less tender than others. The fat border, which runs along the curved side, is easily removed if desired. Suited to flash cooking and searing.

Silverside A boneless cut, the Outside is the major muscle from the outside of the hind leg. The Flat is the Outside with the complete Eye Round removed along its natural seam. Suitable for slow cooking roasts, used for corned beef or thinly sliced for marinated steaks.

Striploin is a premium prime cut with a fine grain and may have some marbling, perfect for grilling, it boasts extreme tenderness and can be prepared without the aid of moist heat or slow cooking.
A boneless cut, the Topside is the major muscle from the inside of the hind leg. Full of robust flavour, it is most succulent and meltingly tender when roast or diced for slow cooking casseroles. Best braised to prevent drying out.
