Beef Cutting Instruction Information

Average thickness on all steaks is 1″ but we can cut them from 1/2″ to a 1 1/2″. Average size roast is 3# but we can do anywhere from 2-5#.

ALL SPLIT SIDES HAVE TO BE CUT THE SAME, otherwise there is no way to make it an even split.

A whole beef can only be split in 1/2 or in 1/4s.

T-Bone/Porterhouse Steaks (bone-in cut) OR NY Strips & Tenderloins (boneless cut): How thick and how many per package?

Sirloin Steaks: How thick and these are 1 per package because they are large.

Round Steaks: How thick and these are 1 per package because they are large. Other choices for these are (at an extra fee): Cubed Steaks or Stew Meat.

Hamburger: 1#, 1 1/2# or 2# packages

Chuck Roasts: What size?

Rib Steaks (bone-in cut) OR Ribeye (boneless cut): How thick and how many per package?

Soup Bones (neck, shank and oxtail): Yes or No?
