Beef is classified according to different parts of the cow, specifically "chest lao" (the fat on the front of the cow's chest), "fat callus" (a piece of meat on the belly of the cow), and diaolong (a long piece of meat on the back of the beef back), "neck ren" (a small piece of meat protruding from the shoulder blade of a beef) and so on.
Beef plate (also known as the short plate) is a forequarter cut from the abdomen of the cow, just below the rib cut. It is typically a cheap, tough, and fatty meat. In U.K. butchery, this cut is considered part of the brisket. [1] [2] [3] It is used for short ribs and two kinds of steak: skirt and hanger.
A hanger steak (US), also known as butcher's steak, hanging tenderloin, skirt (UK), or onglet, is a cut of beef steak prized for its flavor and tenderness. This cut is taken from the plate , which is the upper belly of the animal.
British cuts of beef, showing the various cuts of short ribs. Short ribs, by definition, are not the entire length of rib. When the rib bone is cut into a 3-to-6-inch (7.6 to 15.2 cm) length, [9] [8] left as a section of meat (a "plate") containing three or four ribs [10] or cut into individual ribs with meat attached, the short rib is known as an "English cut".
There is some contention as to whether the bone conducts heat within the meat so that it cooks more evenly and prevents meat drying out and shrinking during cooking, [2] [3] or the meat near the bone will cook more slowly than the rest of the steak, [4] and the tenderloin will tend to reach the desired temperature before the strip.

Meat cuts as depicted in Cassell's dictionary of cookery (1892) A primal cut or cut of meat is a piece of meat initially separated from the carcass of an animal during butchering . Examples of primals include the round, loin, rib, and chuck for beef or the ham, loin, Boston butt, and picnic for pork.
The name "skirt steak" for the butcher's cut of beef diaphragm has been in use since at least the 19th century. The cut is defined as extending to the 10th rib in the early 20th century. [3] [4] It was formerly considered a less commercially mass-salable cut in America, hence its use for fajitas by the vaqueros in Texas. [5] [6]
