This section consists of a group of muscles that do
very little work. Because of this, it is known to have
the most tender cuts of the beef. The tenderloin can
either be cut for roasts or for steaks. Unlike the
nearby tenderloin, the short loin is a sizable muscle,
allowing it to be cut into the larger portions like a
strip steak. The short loin is not as tender as the
tenderloin, but it is still a very desirable cut.

Cuts from the round primal are generally lean but
not naturally tender. The fat and marbling present in
tenderize meat as it cooks, is lacking in cuts from
the round primal. Therefore, a moist slow cooking
method, should be used to tenderize the meat.

A relatively long and flat cut of meat, used in many
recipes with moist cooking methods. Flap steak
comes from a flank cut, and is generally a very thin
steak. Not surprisingly so, the flap steak is often
confused with hanger steak because both are thin
and come from similar parts of the cow.
