Steak buying tips 🥩

If your looking to save some money of beef for steaks then try some cuts other then sirloin and ribeye. Flank, Tri tip and skirt are all great options but go chat to your local butcher to see what’s available and what’s good! 🥩❤️

He sang it! He sang the thing!😲🫵🏼🫵🏼🫵🏼😂🎶🎤

[@auspices999]

The best tip he gave is not about the type of meat.. It's: GO TO YOUR LOCAL BUTCHER.

[@florianhug8069]

if you have the money for it, sure

[@1physics]

​@@florianhug8069 anyone that eats steak can eat steak a bit less often and go to their local butcher. Noone needs to eat meat all the time and it means you'll properly appreciate it. After all, people who regularly just go to the supermarket seriously think the rubbish at Costco is good steak because yeh it's better than Tesco

[@KattoTang]

@@1physics Yeah, like, I don't even understand that person's comment. Steak is expensive regardless of where you go, especially for the prime cuts. Andy is suggesting going to a butcher and asking what's a good value right then...so why would that be more expensive? A better comment would be "If you have a local butcher, sure", since that's not something everyone has access to, sadly.

[@CianMcsweeney]

One big issue, at least in my area, is that there's not many "real" butchers left, most of them order in everything pre-butchered and don't have any of the less standard cuts available

[@Elamdri]

​@@CianMcsweeneyshit, I have to drive 35 minutes to get to a Walmart

[@docjanak]

So if I’m not mistaken, Andy is saying go to the butcher and get anything.

[@stevend4544]

A little too boiled down. Saying there are many parts of thr cow that can be just as good as the back.

[@dave_reed]

Love the flat iron - if you buy it in one piece you get two flat iron steaks and a good beef for simmer for a comparable inexpensive price

[@hugooooooo000000]

Onglet (or Bavette) is my favorite type of steak among ANY other! I’m sure you know but it’s very common in France to go for this type of steak. Glad you mentioned it!

[@MrBubbleblonde]

Onglet is a different cut then bavette! Onglet is from the lungs, bavette is from the flank

[@rnill7901]

Santa Maria style Tri Tip! A Cali staple. 🥩

[@Kriminal002]

Flat iron steak is underrated

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

My local butcher: "Value? Give me all your money."

[@aluminatestrontium7298]

In an old cookbook (late 70s or early 80s) I read this: "Time is money, this is especially true for meat cuts. You can make any cut taste delicious, but tougher ones require more preparation and cooking time. People nowadays [again, late 70s/early 80s] have less and less time to cook, so they tend to buy fast cooking cuts. This increase in demand is not balanced by an increase in offer, as butchered animals will yield always the same proportion of cuts. It is reasonable to assume more expensive cuts will be easier and quicker to prepare, but if you have time, you can still prepare a delicious meal while saving money."

[@Ron_Dello]

The jingle is back 🎶 ❤

[@mw8392]

*cries in American beef prices*

[@gerardbonner6464]

😂😂😂

[@theabombination1]

It can be expensive here too. You’ll pay $40-$60 (70-90 usd) for a tomahawk steak at a butcher here

[@lak1796]

THE JINGLE IS BACK!!! YOU HEARD YOUR AUDIENCE!!!

[@kmcnelley1981]

Kitchen tips with Andy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes!!!

[@rodbaker7813]

One of my favorites. I love tri tip during the summer. Highly recommended.

[@akiffahmad3909]

The song is back babyyy

[@junebugg208]

The flat iron is my favorite.. just like the Sopa de Albondigas chef ..like my 30th request

[@maifut4856]

Here in Argentina it’s called “Colita de Cuadril” which essentially means that. One of the most highly appreciated cuts

[@BmcButcher]

Love a good bit of skirt/flank steak. Charred hot and fast with a bit of chimichurri. Support your local butcher. 🍖

[@jimhallal2513]

Not that it's an under-rated cut, but I've always been a big fan of getting a whole top sirloin. I cut steaks, kebabs and stew beef out of the entire thing. A good balance between value and quality. If I'm not mistaken, the tri-tip you cooked forms part of that whole top sirloin. Delicious for steaks.

[@mitchamus]

Skirt used to be cheap AF. But now even Chuck is 21/kg. 12months ago I was paying that for Tbones

[@zeldalazino463]

Never even tried Tri-tip. I will ask my butcher for some this week! Thank you!!

[@toddhoward9890]

if your butcher doesn’t know what you’re talking about, you can try and say “California roast“ and that may be something they’ve heard of. (different name for the same cut) If you’re out east or in the Midwest, they may not know what you mean.

[@stevenmcbride2347]

Every time I hear you say kitchen tips with Andy, I always think of Mr. Rogers singing

[@jeffmays3159]

Flank steak so underrated. When it goes on sale at our local market it’s USD $6.99/lb. It’s barely more than ground beef which I don’t regard highly at all. I use flank in chili, tacos (the best), teriyaki beef bowls, etc. It’s great

[@JazBrock]

If I ever saw one for 6.99 lb I'd buy all of them. Love flank.

[@causeandeffect7694]

I love these beef tips. Andy always giving advice on how to avoid a big missed steak. His tips are always a cut above the rest. My favorite cuts are yes, yes, and yes!

[@mtnbkr79]

Tri-tip, reverse sear on smoker, sliced against grain, my favorite cut

[@edgarstaskans8516]

I had heart and shin other week. Heart has plenty of vitamins and is super cheap. And shin is good for skin and bone health.

[@mariankay6482]

Favorite underrated "cut" of beef... Calf Fries

[@AlienMidget123]

The song’s back yay 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jerryweeda8]

Flank stake for sure. Love it and so versatile.

[@davidpavlich8939]

Ribeye will always be my favorite, but I really enjoy a nicely marinated flank steak. It makes for some fine samiches!

[@nickyoung4303]

Totally agree...tri tip, picanha, bavette, flank...all way better than prime cuts if cooked properly...more flavour

[@Objective-Observer]

In my part of Texas, Sirloin IS a cheap cut of steak. I love sirloin, but everyone around here like the TBone or Porter House or the Rib Eye; skirt steak is used in Tex Mex Fajitas, the most expensive menu item in a Tex Mex restaurant.... so my lowly sirloin is cheaper.

[@stephanieori464]

LOVE me some tri tip (Santa Maria Cut)! I’m a California native and it was such an eye opener to go to the East Coast where tri tip is unheard of. So excited to see it on your channel Andy!!

[@Peterps]

Cheek meat, shank meat ( for stewing not for frying)

[@jaycarrillojc]

Absolutely love eye of round. Cheap cut that you can season heavy and marinate to make them so tender

[@chichibangbang3667]

Always, I look for the tri-tip, but the hardest to find is the hanger steak

[@mariankay6482]

Never heard of that one! I have to go look it up.

[@savannahmatcham7633]

Tenderloin tips are usually just ground up if you can get them from a butcher before they grind em they are very good

[@drsamthefrog]

Chuck steak. It's so versatile. I love it! Braise it, stew it, and my favorite, Sri Lankan curry it!!

[@RagingOatmeal]

Love me some tri tip. Favourite cut personally

[@anttikalpio4577]

Hanger steak is my #1 favorite❤

[@mythologybuff9829]

By far my favorite cut is a skirt steak. Great for literally anything, from carne asada tacos to just eating a steak. And it’s easy on your bank account.

[@Michael_Gendron]

Skirt steak and tri-tip are my two favorite cuts of beef, period.

[@Sorran87]

Eye of Round is a very underrated cut!

[@jacmandora1]

I've had tri tip before and it is immense. The flavour is just so rich

[@_Skim_Beeble]

Buy it from Coles or Woolworths if you want copious amounts of extra water weight.

[@erniemac9711]

Chuck Eye is a great, underrated cut.

[@mejasiu]

Awesome! Need more tips like this!

[@joshsiddoway1223]

trip tip flank and hanger are my favs

[@trishhunt3137]

Yay singing is back 😊

[@hylens5111]

Hell yeah. Especially tri-tip. Roast or steaks. Good stuff! And not all that expensive.

[@terrihasstedt5855]

Chuck is a favorite, but strip is fantastic

[@ISMsoccerboy]

Hanger and tri tip are so great

[@judibarth7999]

Any steak cooked medium rare and melts in the mouth! ♥️

[@MoonstoneSummer]

Yay! The jingle’s back!

[@user-gl9tu3cs9t]

Jacob’s ladder rib. Be good to see you do something with one Andy 😎

[@lindahiggins415]

Skirt steak, bbq, broiled, fried, soooo good!!

[@chrisgriffin2587]

Tri-tip down under? You got that in Santa Maria didn't ya mate!

[@H3O.]

Hey Andy, any chance you would do another video showing how to break down large cuts? I'm looking for more options to help feed our family because we are getting priced out of meat right now in the grocery stores here in Canada

[@mariankay6482]

It's in the play list. I have it saved in my favs. Search youtube "Andy cooks meat cuts" or something like that. You will find it. 🙂

[@James-tv6so]

The TRI-tip is finally getting love here?! As a Cali-native this makes me v happy

[@jmalinjapan7786]

I love rump steak. Flavourful, just about always cheap and as long as you don’t overcook it, juicy and tender.

[@MrWhitmen1981]

Yeah I like the bloody taste it offers and the highest protein content compared to fatty wagu stuff.

[@FreshDougan]

Going to a butcher is a good tip in general. People spend a shit ton of money at whole foods when the meat isn't even better than what you can find at Walmart. But a butcher will have many different options that are more affordable so it's worth going.

[@acmenesmusic]

London broil/flank steak scored and marinated overnight is amazing on the grill!

[@gretzatalic]

Hanger steak! Absolute steal

[@Ljbmd]

When I visited a friend in California, she served me TriTip. I had never heard of it before! Not sold in Canada.

[@candym0nz826]

Tri tip is great for skewers. And it feeds a lot of people.

[@ianhardman9263]

Love eating skirt. With onions. Cooked 4 hours in tray of gravey and onions 🌰. Covered with foil

[@lisamckay5058]

You named my favorite---flank steak. Marinated in soy sauce and fresh garlic, barbecued or broiled. Love.

[@sharonadlam3195]

Love the jingle

[@codydonahue2241]

Tri tip is amazing for the price. Local butcher near me had a special running for choice $5.49USD

[@mariankay6482]

Wow! I live in the Texas panhandle and I can't find a chuck roast for that price! It's infuriating!!!

[@codydonahue2241]

@@mariankay6482 I think it really helps that I’m in Kentucky and tri tip is just not a really common cut we have available. Prime been priced at $7 and some change for a few years now as well. I keep loading the deep freeze up cause I’m sure it won’t last forever.

[@mariankay6482]

@@codydonahue2241 yeah... Your freezer died just before coved and they got so expensive that we haven't been able to afford a new or even a decent used one, since! That has re all messed me up because I used to catch sales and really stock up. Oh well! 😭

[@Streettotable]

Onglet is great and packed with flavours

[@clarencepalmer9598]

Tri-tip is my favorite cut of meat.

[@kevinkalivoda3442]

Tri tip is still quite expensive here in AZ. Seems the more people find good ways to prepare the less expensive cuts the more the price goes up

[@jms2342]

Flank steak is so good and underrated

[@adamwarren5654]

I’ve never had a Denver steak, but in a recent visit to the butcher the Denver steak they displayed had more marbling in it than a typical steak.

[@vincentcarrocci4697]

The Chuck Eye steak is a great cut and usually an excellent value.

[@jamespayter6948]

Onglet for me mate, absolutely love it

[@kylebates3627]

Tri tip is such a huge staple out here in California, it's my favorite cut, I'd take it over almost anything

[@olintaft3917]

I love braising oxtail. Chuck, too

[@AndroidBugler]

Flat iron is super underrated

[@seangann7756]

Your butcher can pick out economical cuts for you, they can also tell you how to cook it and give you recipes and tips they can also cut and prepare meats for you. Use their knowledge! it comes with the price of buying from the butcher

[@MrArod]

The Denver it’s honestly one of my favourite steaks

[@daijovetic6126]

Shin is my favourite cut of beef. Whole Shin, bone in for a perfect pot roast ❤❤

[@CB-cp9kf]

I love tri tip i am just now learning it is apparently an underrated cut of meat lol

[@calebisom8144]

Flat iron steak.

[@deadlysnipes974]

Day one of asking you to make Ukranian Varenyky. It is a very important dish to me and my family. I would love if you make it

[@chrisyentastic379]

Idk if it’s underrated, but beef shanks are definitely my favorite cut.

[@JAG214]

Round Eye Steaks is underated to me

[@chicagolifetv]

I love me a good Pichaña😊

[@thekeepr7178]

Heart. It tastes the same, just a little more iron, but when cooked right is nice and tender.

[@Galapagooo]

My butcher gave me chuck steak once - was so flavorful and economical - it was a particular type of chuck steak, I’ll have to ask him

[@McNasty43]

If you treated it like a steak (hot and fast, served pink), then it was probably a chuck eye. My favorite cut.

[@toddhoward9890]

came here to say this! Must’ve been Chuck eye.

[@kennethdeason]

Tri Tip reverse sear. Let it rest in a cooler. Damn good

[@CommodoreFan64]

Ive always loved a good Flat Iron steak cook to medium rare. 😊🥩

[@bobtehdinosaur]

Tried a cheap pre-seasoned tri-tip from Kroger a few weeks ago and it was delicious!

[@shaneburns4349]

Rump, salt it, leave it in the fridge on a grate overnight, leave it out of the fridge for 4-5 hours (keep the fly's off it), then cook it on a grill over coals. Happy Days!

[@MrRafaturtle]

Don't forget hanger steak. Hard to find but when you do it it's amazing.

[@adde9506]

Also ask your butcher how to cook and carve any new cut of meat.

[@williamharvey4841]

Flat iron is my favourite

[@brutalblade619]

South Africa there's a cut called, "Rump" steak. Is really underrated

[@leefy4829]

Around here it's hard to get a butcher hand over a tri-tip steak as they keep them for themselves. Picanha steaks are great value and cook up a treat.

[@stevenfalzon3340]

NY strip all day. I used to cook tri tip sandwiches on the weekends during football season.
