The Breakdown

Every primal, every cut.

Organized the way a butcher works — primal by primal. Each card lists the popular cuts you'll find in your share, a quick description, and the cooking method it's built for.

Primal 01

Chuck

The hard-working shoulder. Big, beefy flavor and a workhorse for roasts, braises, and the best ground beef you'll ever taste.

Chuck Roast

Low & slow

Pot-roast classic — braises down to fork-tender, deeply savory comfort.

Flat Iron

Grill

Surprisingly tender, well-marbled steak — a hidden-gem grill cut.

Denver

Sear

Rich, buttery, and beefy — quick hot-sear steak from the under-blade.

Ground Beef

Any

Wagyu-marbled grind for burgers, meatballs, chili, and weeknight everything.

Primal 02

Rib

The crown jewel. Where Wagyu marbling shines brightest — luxurious, tender, and built for a celebration.

Ribeye

Sear

The marbling king — juicy, decadent, and the steak Wagyu was made for.

Tomahawk

Grill

A ribeye on the bone — showstopping presentation, reverse-sear ready.

Prime Rib Roast

Roast

The holiday centerpiece — slow-roasted to a rosy, melting medium-rare.

Short Ribs

Low & slow

Braise them low until the meat falls off the bone into rich, glossy sauce.

Primal 03

Loin / Short Loin

The tenderest real estate on the animal. Home to the steakhouse heavy-hitters — strip, filet, and the bone-in legends.

NY Strip

Sear

Firm bite, bold flavor, clean marbling — the all-business steakhouse strip.

Filet Mignon

Sear

From the tenderloin — buttery, lean, and so tender it cuts like silk.

T-Bone

Grill

Strip and tenderloin on one bone — two great steaks in a single cut.

Porterhouse

Grill

A king-size T-bone with a generous filet — built to share, or not.

Primal 04

Sirloin

The everyday workhorse steak — leaner than the loin, full of flavor, and the smart pick for weeknight grilling.

Top Sirloin

Grill

Lean, hearty, and versatile — a dependable, affordable everyday steak.

Tri-Tip

Grill

A West-Coast favorite — roast whole, then slice thin against the grain.

Picanha

Sear

Cap of sirloin with a fat lid — the Brazilian churrasco showpiece.

Sirloin Tip Roast

Roast

Lean roast that carves into tender slices — great for Sunday dinner.

Primal 05

Round

The lean rear leg. Honest, economical cuts that reward a slow roast — and make exceptional deli-style roast beef and jerky.

Sirloin Tip

Roast

Lean and tender for its price — roast whole or slice into stir-fry strips.

Rump Roast

Low & slow

Robust and beefy — braise or pot-roast for tender, sliceable results.

Eye of Round

Roast

Ultra-lean — roast rare and slice paper-thin for the best roast beef sandwiches.

Round Steak

Low & slow

The cut for cube steak, Swiss steak, and slow-simmered comfort food.

Primal 06

Brisket & Plate

The low-and-slow soul of Texas barbecue, plus the bold, beefy belly cuts that take a marinade and a hot fire like champions.

Brisket

Low & slow

The Texas icon — smoke it for hours into a smoky, melting, bark-crusted feast.

Skirt Steak

Sear

Loose-grained and intensely beefy — the gold standard for fajitas and tacos.

Flank Steak

Grill

Lean and flavorful — marinate, grill hot, and slice thin across the grain.

Plate Short Ribs

Low & slow

Meaty "beef ribs" — smoke or braise into rich, fall-apart indulgence.
