Bone in vs Boneless Steaks (How to be a Steak Expert) The Bearded Butchers

[@dannybouchard5520]

My father was a butcher and he explained to his customers about different cuts in front of them in the same way that you just did. I had a smile on my face a mile wide. Thanks for the memory. You made my day.

[@0616ko]

My dad was also a butcher and learned the craft serving in WWII as a (Mess) Sergeant in the Army (Air Corp). After the war he returned home to operate the family grocery business which specialized in hand cut meats. This is so much like what I used to see him do when i was growing up and has not changed over the years. Very well done video here. Thanks.

[@FRC0711]

This is such a specialist skill. I can barely tell what I'm looking at until "voila" - there's a fillet on the bench. Good to watch this and understand how an animal becomes food on the plate, and what it means to eat a steak. The animal that grew and the farmers that reared it, the butcher that prepares it, the time and skill it takes. Makes it more appreciably valuable.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

isnt this sad but true, Im much older, so in my eyes this young butcher is a good solid man and average guy. In they eyes of a 24 year old customer today, I bet he is a rare breed. Its why enjoying your work is more important than pay

@@jimmyruger7529 I agree, but still think everyone should be paid well for whatever work they do, especially craftsmen like butchers. Whether you're butchering it or cooking it for others, you should be able to support yourself from your labor. 👍

People used to be a lot better and treat each other a lot better now we have completely lost control of society. It's especially sad seeing so many stories of gangs of teenagers beating up and robbing old people. Once a society loses its respect for elders that's when everything starts falling apart.

Back in 1972 or 73 I had a class at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture called "Livestock and Meat Science ". We learned to judge the animals on the hook (sheep, cattle, and hogs) the followed them through the complete butchering process. For our final test, we had to look at a retail cut and identify the animal it came from, the wholesale cut and the retail cut. I love you videos for both the demonstration and explanation. Great work guys!!! P.S. During "study night" for the final 1 of our Professors (Dr. Hedrick) prepared many of the cuts an we got to sample them throughout the evening...

That pointer at the end is what I tell family and friends all the time. With prices being what they are it's usually cheaper to get the T-Bone/Porterhouse and separate the steaks yourself than get the steaks already separated. What I mean is the T-Bone/Porterhouse usually has a cheaper per lbs price than both the Strip and Fillet.

My wife actually prefers a porterhouse above all else. She used to like filet until I told her that the porterhouse has a filet in it. I like either a strip, t-bone or a bone-in ribeye. I just want a rib steak of some kind. I do like them on the bone a bit more. The flavor comes out better after grilling if you cook with the bone on, plus the filet benefits from that fat a bit if it's still nested into that porterhouse.

[@john-michaelsteiner456]

Dude is the man! A word of advice to steakhouse goers: don’t buy the “bone-in” version! It’s an up charge for something that doesn’t bring value. The server may believe that the bone adds flavor because that’s what they’ve been told. But when meat is cooked quickly over high temp, the bone doesn’t do a darn thing… Bone in only makes a difference when braising or roasting a big cut low and slow. And even then, I think it only adds moisture from within. If you think about it, how exactly would flavor permeate through meat from bone? Bone does have a ton of flavor/nutrition, but the only way to get to it is to simmer the bones in water (i.e making stock).

We have no butchers in our area worth the bother. Those who are reachable do not have very good butcher skills nor the knowledge they should and their beef is very limited. Lots of the ones I've been to don't even buy their beef on the hook. Lots of these small shops rent their space which I can't figure if you have a plan to become a neighborhood butcher and expect a nice customer base that returns over and over because of selection, skills, quality and so forth. Too many shops open up in a strip mall, give the appearance of a butcher shop then can't provide the service. Sad

[@chefluigi4752]

Back in the day( way before your time) the older customers would put a finger on the "Porterhouse Steaks" between the fillet and strip.... a true Porterhouse Steak is one where their finger wouldn't feel any bone between the Strip & Fillet.

More to come!

[@imari2305]

Porter house is my favorite cut with T bone coming in 2nd and the NY Strip then Filet. Excellent breakdown and explanation Seth. Those steaks are a thing of beauty!

[@curronwilliams]

Good choices. Mine is Ribeye then porterhouse.

[@aaroningalls3039]

Great video! I just need to clarify a couple of things, the most tender part is the hanging tender, although most people do not know what it is or where to find them (in the carcass or in the store) the other thing was the spinal cord was still in the hindquarters. It should have been removed at slaughter per USDA regulations as SRM. But again great video and I'm going to check out some of your other videos.

Wow....im getting schooled in a great way !! Awesome channel !! They're are no other channels like the one we're watching here. You guys really have it going on and it just comes out so easily. Great job guys !

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

I get the feeling you have had a few karens complain about not getting fillets when they order half a cow bone in

[@grant1133]

I wonder if you guys could go over how you clean all your equipment and surfaces at the end of the day.

[@phillipcarroll6625]

Ive always wanted to see that

[@johnn9412]

Im sure they probably do it same we do it. We just take all the machines apart, clean it by hand, sanitize it then put everything back together.

@@johnn9412 Hi I did REFRIGERATION Most my life alsoA/C, but when the stores used to get HANGING MEAT. I loved when THEY blamed refrigeration, but TOO MANY CASES, the meat would have a bacteria bloom from NOTCLEANING &SANITIZINGthe TREES. as they are called . also the heat absorbing flood lights over the meat cases burnt out , they would just PUTIN one off the shelf WHICH COOKS THE MEAT IN THE CASES ! BUT THEN they stopped hanging meat, so boxed meat came in , then board of health in NJ stopped the SAWDUST, then used a HUGHE roll of cardboard, , so NOW they stopped washing the floors, NOW the floor drain trap has NO WATER in it so now the meat start turning black, so it’s the refrigeration’s fault, REASON SEWER GAS, FROM NO WATER IN THE TRAPS WELLi have retired as of 2003. Cheers🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@flybyairplane3528 hey man, i honestly have no idea what your talking about. Supermarkets stopped cutting hanged meat a long time ago, we just get whole pieces in and cut them into steaks/roasts.

[@flybyairplane3528]

@@johnn9412 hi it came about when someone asked about BEARDED BUTCHERS cleaning their equipment, ‘TREES’ HAVE TO BE REALLY CLEAN, OR BACTERIA screws up the meat, yes SUPERMARKETS only carry ‘boxed meat. `but as long about cleaning, I came across several oddities ALWAYS BLAMED on the REFRIGERATION. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I’d love to see a video describing the differences between normal ribeyes and delmonico ribeyes

[@urface12343]

Delmonico is just a thick cut

[@j-rocd9507]

Delmonico is my current fave unless we say standing rib roast or bone in ribeye. So now what's the difference in that lol

[@chefluigi4752]

You can save a few bucks by asking your butcher (that's a laugh) to cut you a couple Chuck Eye Steaks or purchase a bone in first cut Chuck Roast and "seam out" the Chuck eye and cut it into steaks yourself. You may want to marinate the Chuck eyes first. Debone and defat the remainder, cut into bite sized pieces for beef stew...or if you have one of those handy Oster kitchen grinders make your own ground chuck....2 birds with one stone.

[@MWA78]

I love yall! It's so satisfying to watch high end butchering... It has made me over the years appreciate different cuts of meat for sure. Especially the Chuck Eye....

[@davidlyman694]

Thank you. As a meat cutter, I have tried to explain this to no avail. You sir are my hero of the day.

[@williambarton3665]

Been waiting for this video for a long time!

[@jasonluke6364]

They confuse T-bone and Porterhouse here in the stores all the time. I'll get a tbone with way too much tenderloin or get a porterhouse with barely any tenderloin

[@WhatsCookingTime]

Constantly. Here in Massachusetts we have a great supermarket chain called Market Basket and don't get me wrong there fantastic but every month and a half or so they have Porter House on sale beginning of the sale everything that says porterhouse is as such ..to the end there T-Bones. Which is fine cuz it's always a pretty good price but you're better off buying at the beginning of the sale

[@DevinHeida]

I dont think theres any set standards to this, just general concepts. Been a meat cutter for 10 years and theres definitely differences between what I do and say with these guys. I've always been taught that a porter house was about the first 3 to 4 inches off the sirloin end (the striploin will have an additional muscle on the far side) after that it's a tbone, once the tenderloin (never call it a fillet, unless it's a fillet mignon which is bacon wrapped) is nearing less than an inch, it's a wing steak. Everybody's different, but at the end of the day, as long as you have a general idea of what you're getting, you should be good.

[@reeceedwards2509]

A porterhouse will have the extra muscle on the sirloin hence a larger fillet that's it ask ms Abercrombie at the one and only 74 ranch beef in Bellaire texas. Pin oak ranch

[@DevinHeida]

@@reeceedwards2509 that's how I've always known it as well.

Watching a couple of Masters breakdown a piece of meat is never boring.

Glad you appreciate it, Cameron!

[@joshrowe2275]

It really is satisfying. Any time someone masters a craft, you just have to appreciate it. Great content as always from bearded butchers.

[@hariprasadc3287]

I'm a hotelier and this is the best video that I have ever watched about the steak cuts. Thankyou soo much Brother 👍👍👍👍

[@TXShelbyman]

Excellent video! Learned so much... had no idea where these cuts of meat came from.

[@johntran381]

Man I always respect my prep team and my vendors. Imagine doing all this prepping and cooking just for a ungrateful customer to explain why the food is pricey
