What Are The Typical Cuts of Beef In A Half Order?
You will provide instructions to the processor about the types of cuts you prefer, thickness of steaks, etc. The example below is a common cut sheet. Note, if you prefer more ground beef and less roasts this is an easy substitution.
If you have questions about cuts of beef, how best to prepare it, or are interested in new recipes, we encourage you to visit the Texas Beef Council website Beef Loving Texans, for more information.
