A Professional Guide to Beef Cut and Delicious Cooking Recipes

There are different kinds of steaks, but beef is king

Crispy grilled chicken steak, the juicy sweetness of pork steak, and the one and only - beef steak. There are all kinds of steaks but the beef steak is respectively known as the "king" of steaks, and depending on the cut, there are different key points and cooking methods. Today, we'll be introducing beef cuts we recommend for steaks and delicious cooking methods.

A Must-Try Beef Cut! A Guide to Beef Cuts for Steak

Beef steak is a "feast" where it brings a smile to everyone sitting at the dinner table. But, there are more than 10 kinds of beef cuts, and we often get questions about which cut to choose for cooking a steak.

Answer: It depends on the preference of the person, but regardless of the cut, beef steak is delicious. But, of course, there are suitable cuts for a steak. At "The Meat Guy", where we boast our professionalism for meat, we recommend the "ribeye", the "filet", and the "striploin"!

  • Ribeye

    Ribeye

    Juicy, flavorful and just enough fat. One of the most popular cuts for a beef steak. Even young cattle have excellent fine meat quality, and when it’s well fattened, the meat has plenty of marbling.

  • Filet

    ヒレ

    If you like red meat, then we definitely recommend the filet! The precious filet cut is only 3% from one cow. It has little fat and is regarded as the most tender cut of beef. The popular "chateaubriand steak" is also a kind of filet.

  • Striploin

    striploin

    A cut that has both condensed taste of red meat and juicy fat. The "striploin steak" is the representative staple of beef steak. Versatile to the ultimate question "how would you like your steak?" at a restaurant and is delicious at any doneness.

The less fat, red meat filet and rich foie gras make a great combination.

Ingredients（for one person）
  • beef fillet⋯⋯100～150g
  • Olive oil⋯⋯1 teaspoon
  • The Meat Guy’s “Steak Spice”(or salt and black pepper)⋯⋯A good amount
  • Balsamic vinegar⋯⋯1 tablespoon
  • Honey ⋯⋯1/2 tablespoon
  • Foie gras⋯⋯40～50g
  1. 1. Season the beef filet with olive oil and “steak spice”(or salt and black pepper)
  2. 2. Sear each side of the filet with medium heat for a few minutes until desired doneness (we recommend medium-rare! If you have a meat thermometer, the temperature should be kept around 60℃) Finally, cover the steaks with a lid and, at high heat, sear the surface of the filet for about 10 seconds for a juicier dish.
  3. 3. In a saucepan, heat the balsamic oil and honey until the alcohol evaporates. Next, lower the temperature and allow it to boil down until the sauce thickens. Add sliced mushrooms by preference.
  4. 4. Lightly season each side of the thawed foie gras with salt and pepper and grill it with medium heat in frying pan. If the temperature is too high, the foie gras can burn so be careful!
  5. 5. To serve, lay the foie gras on top of the cooked steak and spoon the sauce over and around the steaks. Finish with asparagus, blueberry, green peas and lemon.
