From Tenderloin to T-Bone: Steak Cuts and Cooking Methods

From Tenderloin to T-Bone: Steak Cuts and Cooking Methods

Steak cuts are a culinary delight cherished by meat lovers worldwide. But have you ever found yourself standing in front of the meat counter, feeling overwhelmed by the array of options?

Fear not! At Woodhouse Butchery, we’re here to guide you through the world of steak cuts, helping you understand the differences and discover the perfect steak for your next meal.

Understanding Steak Cuts:

Steak cuts vary in flavour, tenderness, and cooking method, making each one unique. We’re going to share some of the most popular steak cuts you’ll find at our shop:

Tenderloin: Also known as filet mignon, this cut comes from the loin region and is prized for its tenderness. It’s perfect for those who prefer a melt-in-your-mouth texture. We recommend cooking tenderloin cuts quickly over high heat to retain their delicate flavour and juiciness.

Ribeye: Known for its rich marbling and robust flavour, ribeye steak cuts are sourced from the rib section. The marbling ensures a juicy and flavorful steak, ideal for grilling or pan-searing. For the best results, cook ribeye steaks to medium-rare or medium doneness to preserve their natural juices.

T-Bone: A true carnivore’s delight, the T-bone steak features a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides – tenderloin on one side and strip loin on the other. This cut offers the best of both worlds: the tenderness of the tenderloin and the flavour of the strip loin. When grilling T-bone steaks, be mindful of the varying thickness of the two cuts and adjust cooking times accordingly for even doneness.

Cooking Tips and Techniques:

Regardless of the steak cut you choose, proper cooking techniques are essential to achieve the perfect result. Here are some tips to elevate your steak-cooking game:

FAQ: Understanding Steak Cuts

What are the different steak cuts, and where do they come from?

Steak cuts come from various parts of the animal, each offering unique flavours and textures. Some popular cuts include ribeye (from the rib section), tenderloin (from the loin), T-bone (from the short loin), sirloin (from the hip area), and strip steak (from the short loin).

What is the difference between a ribeye and a T-bone steak?

Ribeye steak comes from the rib section and is known for its rich marbling and robust flavour. T-bone steak features a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides – tenderloin on one side and strip loin on the other. While ribeye offers intense marbling and tenderness, T-bone provides a combination of tenderloin and strip loin flavours.

Which steak cut is the most tender?

The tenderloin, also known as filet mignon, is widely regarded as the most tender steak cut. It comes from the loin region and offers a melt-in-your-mouth texture with minimal fat marbling.

Can I use different steak cuts interchangeably in recipes?

While different steak cuts have distinct flavours and textures, many recipes can accommodate various cuts. However, it’s essential to consider the cooking method and adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure the best results.

My dad buys meat from this butchers. He decided to try it once for a family bbq because it was a local business that he wanted to support, he was so delighted with the quality of the meat and how friendly & helpful the staff were he now gets most meat from here. We like the sausages from here on the bbq or with our Christmas dinner. Absolutely recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you Lauren for your terrific review, we look forward to seeing you and dad soon.

After our regular butcher closing (who we went to once and just kept going back to) and looking for a new butcher, i found Woodhouse who I have some how managed to walk past many times without noticing them.Lovely team, great website with handy click and collect service, in store, very friendly and knowledgably. Oh and of course, great quality produce!Not sure how I have missed them for so long, shame that old Butcher has closed but happy to have found another great one.Would highly recommend to any others looking
Response from the owner: Dan thank you for your super review, we look forward to see you again soon.

I visited woodhouse for the first time the other day. Hayley was so lovely and really helpful when it came to picking my meat. I ordered chicken kebabs & chicken thighs. You can also select them to be marinated in any type of sauce! We had the meat this week and it was sooo delicious. I seriously can’t believe the difference in the quality compared to supermarket meat. I will 100% be returning :)
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased and many thanks for coming in today.

Woodhouse sell the best meat and the staff go above and beyond whether it’s making up some of their delicious ready to cook items (kebabs, koftas, specially seasoned sausages, stuffed chicken wrapped in pancetta etc.,) or assisting with a certain cut of meat. If there’s something specific that you need for a recipe they’re more than willing to help you with it. I used to buy from Middleton’s and thankfully Woodhouse is the perfect alternative. I cook a lot of Asian food and described the different cuts I needed and happily provided them. Great produce (amazing flavour), staff and fair prices. Call in advance if you know what you want, will make purchasing more swift.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such a wonderful detailed review, we look forward to seeing you soon.

We absolutely love this butchers and have been recommending them to all our friends and family. We first tried them at Christmas and everyone was blown away by the quality and price. Have used them for some different cuts and bbqs since and plan to start buying more everyday meat there too as it’s so good.The real charm is the staff are very friendly, helpful and more than happy to help you work out exactly what you need.
Response from the owner: Hi Vanessa, thank you so much for the review, we look forward to seeing you again soon.

If you are looking for high quality meats this is the place to go!! I originally inquired about a specific cut of meat (shaved beef for steak bombs/philly cheese steak) and item (beef bones for pho) that wasn't offered on their website and within the hour I had received a reply.They are prompt with answering any queries and are very knowledgeable. The specific cut of meat that I wanted, they weren't accustomed to, but they took the time to research it to make sure that I would be provided with what I needed. Their click and collect service is very efficient and very easy to use. I placed an order on Friday and picked it up today (Monday).My partner and I live right across the street from Woodhouse Butchery. I had walked over to see if the order was done. Richard (butcher/director) indicated that it was currently being processed and the meat was being cut. He made sure that the meat was cut the way I wanted it and even showed me a sample which was on point. He stated it should be done within 10 minutes.My partner and I walked over after 10 minutes to pick up the order and ended up having a very friendly chat with him. He mentioned that he and his wife Jessica have been running the business and he has 34 years of experience. He also mentioned that he comes from a family of butchers (his Dad, Grandad, and great Grandad).They originally provided services to restaurants and businesses and have recently expanded to the consumer market. If you need anything specific they will do their best to provide it to you. FANTASTIC experience and will buy from again.
Response from the owner: Many thanks we look forward to seeing you again.
