It’s Friday. And if you’re already in weekend mode and just don’t want to think too hard, here’s a little easy peasy chart to help you get started on your weekend meal.

Want to make stew but forgot what kind of beef to put in? Here ya go.

Itching to know what part of the cow your favorite steaks come from? This is for you.

Just like pretty charts with photos of beef? You’re welcome.

Copy and keep this chart where you can easily find it when planning your next award-winning dinner party with some delicious Kansas City beef.

Confused about what cut is what? What does it look like? Where does it come from?

Well, Beef.org has made it easy for all of us with this simple chart. Just click on it to enlarge.

Check it out to see what each cut looks like and how you can use it. Keep this on hand when you come across a new recipe and aren’t quite sure what cut is called for.

Happy studying!

I found this cute little “Brief History of Steak” online and thought you might like to see it.

It’s all the basics of steak in a neat, concise package. Looks like a school project.

I’m wishing my school projects had been so much fun. I remember styrofoam solar systems which included planets that are no longer planets now.

My how things change.

Check out this sweet little page here – and share it with your kids. It’s educational!
