Steaks by Cut

Beef is often categorized according to specific cuts of steak. Most people shop for beef based on what they plan on cooking. Getting ready for a romantic dinner? You might want filet mignon. Throwing a backyard BBQ? There’s a good chance you’ll have ribeye steak on the menu.

Here’s a deeper look at those cuts of meat and a few others we love just as much:

• Filet mignon: A premium and seriously tender cut of beef that’s known for being the centerpiece of a fancy steakhouse meal — or at the center of your home-cooked dinner. This cut is superb served solo, but it’s also strong enough to carry sauces like bearnaise or a peppery au poivre.
• New York strip steak: Part of the short loin, the NY strip is beefy, tender, and tasty, with a more robust texture and marbling than a filet, but not quite as much marbling as a bone-in or boneless ribeye.
• Porterhouse: A bit of tenderloin and a bit of strip steak come together, joined by a big bone, to create the classic porterhouse. This is a smart steak for sharing or exploring cut vs. cut, as you get to taste two different types of steak with one easy purchase.
• Ribeye Steak: Known for its rich marbling, the ribeye is one of the juiciest and most flavorful cuts of beef. Whether you choose a bone-in or boneless option, the ribeye delivers a mouthwatering experience with every bite. Its marbling ensures a tender, juicy steak that’s perfect for grilling or cooking to your preference.
• Roasts: Roasts make family dinners even more memorable. Surround them with potatoes, carrots, and pearl onions, or slice a prime rib and pile pieces on fresh-baked rolls for the best sandwiches ever to grace your family reunion.
• Brisket: Cook brisket low and slow (think: BBQ) to break down the fibers and turn a chewier cut into competition-level meat.

Steaks by Type

Another way to buy USDA prime beef online is to shop at your favorite butcher shop according to the type of beef you’re most interested in.

At Allen Brothers, we offer many different types of steaks that can be classified according to how the beef was raised, fed, or prepared, or even according to their DNA.

Take Wagyu for instance. Sourced only from Japanese cattle and closely guarded for centuries, Japanese Wagyu beef is subject to a slew of guidelines that help ensure this unique type of beef remains pure and unaltered for generations to come. Wagyu is famous for its marbling — think streaks of white fat so thin and so well distributed that the meat appears almost pink and melts on your tongue when you take a bite.

Taste the Difference with Allen Brothers Beef

As for our other beef for sale, here’s a quick primer:

• Angus beef: Angus cattle are bred to be wonderfully consistent, so you always know you’re going to enjoy a marbled, juicy steak no matter which cut you choose.
• Grass-fed beef: Grass-fed cattle, also known as pasture-raised or pasture-finished beef, have access to pastures where they can graze on demand. The result is a stronger, earthier-tasting steak that many people believe is the end all, be all of beef.
• Wet-aged beef: Wet-aged beef is vacuum-packed, sealed, and left to age in its own juices. The steak’s innate enzymes break down the fibers of the meat, amping up the flavor and making for a more tender result.
• Dry-aged beef: Dry-aged beef is left to age in the open air, with temperature and humidity carefully controlled. The beef experiences some shrinkage as the elements work to break down the meat, concentrating the flavors to create cuts that are intensely earthy and exquisite on the palate.
