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 following is a list of the American primal cuts, and cuts derived from them. Beef carcasses are split along the axis of symmetry into "halves", then across into front and back "quarters" (forequarters and hindquarters). Canada uses identical cut names (and numbering) as the US, with the exception of the "round" which is called the "hip". [1]
Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. The beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts , though the definition of the cut differs internationally. The brisket muscles include the superficial and deep pectorals.
Veal is the meat of calves, in contrast to the beef from older cattle. Veal can be produced from a calf of either gender and any breed; however, most veal comes from young male calves of dairy breeds which are not used for breeding. [1] [2] Generally, veal is more expensive by weight than beef from older cattle.

The three main "cuts" of the tenderloin are the butt, the center cut, and the tail. [ 5 ] The butt end is usually suitable for carpaccio , as the eye can be quite large; cutting a whole tenderloin into steaks of equal weight will yield proportionally very thin steaks from the butt end.
