Which cuts of meat are right for me?

Choosing the right meat is crucial to success in the kitchen and also plays a very important role in human health. Whether you work in the restaurant industry, are planning a large event, or are cooking at home for family and friends, the right cut of meat ensures tenderness, flavor, and enjoyment. Each type of meat, whether beef, pork, poultry, game, or fish, has its own characteristics that need to be taken into account when selecting and preparing it.

Not every cut is the same—and that's a good thing.

Meat is a craft. Taste is a decision.

For connoisseurs: Delicate & refined

If you love fine textures and mild flavors, the fillet is the cut for you. Perfect for quick frying, medallions, or as a tender pink highlight on your plate.

Alternatives:Beef tenderloin, veal tenderloin, lamb loin.

For barbecue masters: Strong & full of character

Do you love roasted flavors, juiciness, and taste? Then go for ribeye or entrecôte—with its typical marbling, it's a favorite on the grill.

Alternatives:Tomahawk, T-Bone, Striploin.

For explorers: Modern & versatile

New cuts bring a breath of fresh air to the kitchen—such as flat iron, bavette, and flank steak. They are flavorful, attractively priced, and ideal for creative preparations.

Practical tip: Sear briefly, cut across the grain, and serve with hearty side dishes.

For slow cookers: Time & depth

Sometimes meat needs patience to develop its full character. Cuts such as leg slices, shoulder cuts, or breast cores are perfect for braising, sous-vide cooking, or low & slow cooking.

Result:Buttery, aromatic, authentic.

Today, true enjoyment means more than just appreciating the fillet. Every cut has its place—from the prime cuts to the underrated pieces.
