Beef

Blade Steak – this is a tasty steak that is starting to increase in popularity
Chateaubriand – a highly expensive cut of meat that comes from the rump of the fillet that tastes divine! Perfect for an extra special occasion.
Cote be Boeuf – another steak that looks fantastic when served up to guests
Salmon cut – taken from the hind leg and is perfect for a family roast
Chuck – a meat that is considered ‘old fashioned’ now but when slow roasted in wine or made into a stew tastes wonderful

Pork

Rump – cut some pork rump into strips and stir-fry for a lovely meal or roast a joint of it off for a lovely meal for two with perfect crackling
Hock – this has become increasingly popular for use in soups and pies etc. and is also nice when cooked from raw until the meat falls off the bone
Pig’s cheeks – these are creeping up more and more in dishes, especially when used by chefs but they should not be overlooked as they are wonderful little treats when slow cooked

Lamb

Belly or Breast – a cheap cut that once rolled up is lovely slow roasted
Ribs – a different alternative to pork ribs
Neck – this used to be incredibly cheap but is slightly dearer now. Perfect for slow cook stews
Barnsley chop – the best quick cook lamb but difficult to come by

If you fancy trying one of these different cuts then why not pop down to Knightons Family Butchers and try something new this dinner time!
