The Brisket is a fatty, tough, and flavorful cut, great for low and slow smoking and grilling. It is a staple of slow-smoke, Texas-style barbecues. The Brisket is the large chest muscle of a cow, and is halved for commercial sale as the Point and Flat cuts of a Brisket (the top and base of the muscle). These cuts can weigh between 2 and 6 pounds. The Point Cut is the smaller of the two, though it is thick, fattier and marbled—perfect for shredding for Brisket sandwiches or corned beef. The Flat Cut is larger, thinner, and leaner with an even layer of fat across the top. The Flat Cut is best for slicing, braising, and slow cooking with moist heat methods, due to the fact it has less fat and tenderness than the Point Cut.

The Flat Iron Steak comes from the Chuck, or shoulder, of the cow. This cut is tender, marbled, and rich—great for grilling due to its even thickness. The Flat Iron is best marinated and cooked to medium-rare for the greatest flavor and tenderness.

The Flank Steak is a rare cut taken from the lower abdomen of the cow. One steer produces only two of these desirable cuts. It is often confused with the Skirt Steak, which is taken from the Plate of a cow. The Flank Steak is the leaner of the two. It is a versatile, thin, flavorful steak, best when sliced against the grain for steak salads, fajitas, and tacos. It should be cooked medium-rare and marinated to ensure the most flavor and tenderness.

The Skirt Steak, which is similar to the Flank Steak, is a rare cut because only two Skirt Steaks can be cut from a single cow. It is long, thin, and mouthwateringly flavorful— perfect for marinating and grilling. Cook it to medium or medium-rare for the best results.

The Hanger Steak is located in the Plate section of a cow and “hangs” from the diaphragm (hence its name). It is also known as the “Butcher’s Steak” because, historically, butchers would keep it for themselves instead of selling it at market—they know a good cut when they see one. To this day, it is difficult to find in grocery stores and meat shops. It is incredibly delicious and just as tender as the prized Tenderloin cuts. Hanger Steaks are best prepared quickly, either through broiling, grilling, or in a sizzling hot cast-iron skillet.
HANGER STEAK
Korean Short Ribs are a flanken cut, meaning they are sliced thinly and bear a small piece of three or four ribs (traditional Short Ribs usually contain larger pieces of one or two, as mentioned below). Korean Short Ribs are a rare cut, typically only found in Asian markets and grocery stores. This cut will complete any Korean-style barbecues and dinners and should be cooked using high heat methods like grilling and broiling.
KOREAN SHORT RIBS
Short Ribs are taken from the bottom portion of the ribs on a steer. They are a bone-in, thick, and tender cut which can be grilled, braised, or cooked in any number of methods. They have rich marbling and a delicious flavor.

Rib Eye Steaks are one of the most prized on a steer. At Five Marys, all Rib Eye Steaks come bone-in. In the anatomy of a cow, Rib Eyes sit directly above the Short Ribs and weigh between 1 and 3 pounds. They are tender, beautifully marbled, juicy, and full of flavor. For optimal taste and texture, this cut should be cooked fast using high heat methods such as grilling, pan searing, and sautéing.
RIB EYE STEAK
The Tomahawk Steak (or the “Tommy,” as M5 Staff affectionately call it) is a novelty steak, comprised of the Rib Eye Steak, but with the entire rib bone left intact (5+ inches of bone). It is sometimes called the Long-Bone Rib Eye because of this. The extra length of bone is “French trimmed” so that the meat and fat are removed to leave the handle of the “tomahawk” bare. The Tomahawk is cut to be thicker than a typical Rib Eye, with a width between 2 and 3 inches. Because of the size of a Tomahawk, cooking can be tricky. Grilling or oven roasting will be the best methods, cooked ideally to medium-rare.
TOMAHAWK STEAK
The Cross Rib Roast, like the Chuck and Rump Roast, are a variety of Beef Roast. They are perfect for slow cooking methods, smoking, and stewing. They are tender and flavorful, best when cooked to medium rare.
CROSS RIB ROAST
The Prime Rib, also known as the Standing Rib Roast, is a delectable and huge cut with rich flavor and perfect texture. We offer the Prime Rib exclusively around Christmastime, in cuts with 3, 4, or 7 ribs. It is best cooked at a low temperature for an extended period of time. The Prime Rib is a roast, not to be confused with a steak, and can be cooked similarly to the Cross Rib Roast (and because it’s a bone-in steak, its flavor is even better than other Beef Roasts).

Also known as the London Broil or Fajita Steak, the Top Round Steak is a tender, lean, and versatile cut of meat perfect for stir-fry, fajitas, and other broiled, pan-fried, or slow-cooker meals. It should be thinly sliced, against the grain.
TOP ROUND STEAK
Known as the Beef Roast or Bottom Round, the Rump Roast is a lean cut perfect for braising, slow-cooker Pot Roasts and Instant Pot recipes. It should be thinly sliced, against the grain.
RUMP ROAST
The Round Eye Steak is cut from the Eye of Round Roast in the Rump Round section of a cow. These steaks are economically-priced, but still incredibly flavorful. We recommend using slow-cooking methods like braising and slow-roasting. Pro tip: leave the surrounding fat on the steak throughout the cooking process for juiciest results.

Osso Buco, or Beef Shanks, is a cut which comes from the upper leg of a cow. “Osso Buco” is Italian for “bone with a hole,” due to the small hole in the bone where the marrow can be found. The marrow is an important feature in the traditional Italian Ossobuco dish. The Osso Buco cut is naturally tough and should be slow-cooked to achieve the best texture and flavor. It is perfect for Beef Bourguignon, Italian Ossobuco, or for nutrient-rich Bone Broth.

The New York, or Strip Steak, is a premium steak, known for its tenderness and buttery flavor. This steak is perfect for grilling, pan searing, or sautéing for an impeccable steak dinner that can’t be beat.
NEW YORK STEAK
T-Bone Steaks, like Porterhouse Steaks, include a “T”-shaped bone which separates the strip steak and tenderloin. The T-Bone Steak is located in the middle of the Short Loin where it intersects with the Tenderloin cut (the Short Loin and Tenderloin are the most prized cuts of a cow). In effect, a T-bone comprises meat from a New York Strip and a Filet, thus making it a prized and delicious steak. Cook to medium of medium-rare on a grill or broiler.
T-BONE STEAK
The Porterhouse may be the best steak you’ve ever had. Very similar to the T-Bone Steak, it is located in the very back of the Short Loin, and therefore has a larger piece from the Tenderloin than a T-Bone does. It is both the New York Steak and Filet Mignon in one! Like all Short Loin steaks, it is unbelievably tender with a rich, mouthwatering flavor.

TOP SIRLOIN STEAK
The Picanha is a large cut, hugely popular in Brazil and other South American countries—it is a staple at Brazilian steakhouses. In the United States (if you can find it) it is sometimes called the Coulotte Roast or Steak, or the Top Sirloin Cap. It is the topmost layer of the Top Sirloin cut on a cow, and therefore has an incredible fat cap. It is delicious and flavorful, perfect for grilling and pean-searing when cut into steaks.

The Filet Mignon is the most tender steak on a cow, and also very lean with minimal fat. It is perfect for special occasions or those monitoring their fat intake. It is located in the smallest part of the tenderloin which stretches into the short loin. This cut is highly desired and rare on a cow, and therefore an expensive, premium cut. Its flavor can be further enhanced when wrapped in bacon or drizzled with a sauce.
FILET MIGNON STEAK
The Beef Tenderloin refers to the entire Tenderloin cut of a cow. Here at Five Marys, this cut is only sold around Christmastime because when it is cut from a cow, a T-Bone, Porterhouse, and Filet Mignon cannot be taken. Because the Tenderloin is the most prized meat on a cow, this particular cut fetches a high price.

The Tri Tip is a triangular muscle at the bottom of the Sirloin. This cut is especially famous on the West Coast because it was first popularized in California in the 1950s. In the East, it is typically used for ground beef. It is a rare cut, with only two on each cow. California Tri-tip, or Santa Maria Steak, is a delicious, low-fat, and versatile cut which can be grilled, pan-seared, or oven-roasted to medium-rare for best results. It is perfect for chili con carne, tri-tip tacos, or single-pan steak and fajita dinners.
