What's a Primal

1/30/2020

0 Comments

 
A SIDE is divided into 8 areas or Primals:
  • Chuck
  • Rib
  • Loin
  • Round
  • Flank
  • Short Plate
  • Brisket
  • Shank​
After the SIDE is divided into its primals, the primals can get further divided into subprimal cuts. According to the dictionary, this is a “cut of meat larger than a steak, roast or other single cut, but smaller than a side of beef.” A butcher oftentimes starts with a sub-primal cut, and then they cut it into the individual sizes (portion cuts) we’re used to seeing at the meat counter.
