Cuts of Beef:

Chuck
Meat is basically muscle, and the chuck happens to be a heavily exercised area.
Luckily, this area contains a great deal of connective tissue, including collagen.
Collagen melts during cooking, making the meat intensely flavorful.
Cuts from this area benefit from slow, wet cooking methods like stewing, braising or pot-roasting.

Rib
Tender and flavorful ribs can be cooked any number of ways.
Most recipes call for ribs to be roasted, sautéed, pan-fried, broiled, or grilled.  

Short Loin
This area boasts extremely tender cuts and can be prepared without the aid of
moist heat or long cooking times. Cuts from the short loin may be sautéed, pan fried,
broiled, pan broiled or grilled.  

Flank
This meat is lean, muscular and very flavorful. Flank is primarily used for
flank steaks and rolled flank steaks. It can also be used for kabobs.  

Sirloin
"The backbone's connected to the … hipbone"—not a song, but a sirloin.
These tender cuts respond well to sautéing, pan-frying, broiling, pan-broiling or grilling.

Round
The round consists of lean meat well-suited to long, moist cooking methods.  

Shank/Brisket
Traditionally used for corned beef, brisket is best prepared with moist heat.
Suitable preparation methods include stewing, braising and pot-roasting.

Short Plate
This section is best used for stew meat, where its rich, beefy flavor can be appreciated.
