The Plate
The plate primal is located on the lower belly of the cow, directly beneath the rib section. This area produces richly flavored cuts that are known for their bold beef taste and distinctive texture.
One of the most popular cuts from the plate is the skirt steak. Long and thin with pronounced grain, skirt steak is prized for its intense flavor and performs best when cooked quickly over high heat and sliced against the grain.
Plate cuts are commonly used in dishes that celebrate big beef flavor, including fajitas, stir-fries, and grilled steak recipes. When prepared properly, these cuts deliver exceptional taste and a satisfying, hearty bite.
