====== Chuck Primal ======
The chuck starts from the neck and includes ribs 1 to 5. Beef roast from this area commonly called pot roast are very tasteful and fatty. The chuck happens to be a heavily exercised muscle and contains a great deal of connective tissue including collagen. Collagen melts during cooking, making the meat intensely flavorful. Cooking roast beef from the shoulder benefit from slow, wet cooking methods.

====== Loin Primal ======
The loin yields the most tender and expensive cuts of beef--but not the most flavorful.  The choicest portion is the tenderloin, which is exquisitely tender and lean.    The top loin and sirloin aren't as tender, but they're a bit more flavorful.  Cuts from the loin require very little work to taste great.  Indeed, steak lovers consider it almost a sacrilege to marinate them, or to cook them beyond medium rare.    

===== Short Loin Sub-Primal =====
Some of the priciest and most desirable cuts come from the short loin. Because of its highly-marbled, melt-in-your-mouth, tender steaks, the short loin is a great source for upscale foodservice menus. Quick and dry cooking methods such as grilling and broiling prevail for cuts from the short loin.

===== Sirloin Sub-Primal =====
The sirloin lies between the short loin and the round/hip. Though not as tender as the adjoining short loin, cuts from the sirloin are appreciated for their full-bodied flavor and firm satisfying texture.

====== Round Primal ======
The round is a kind term for the rear end of the carcass and includes the hip and the upper leg. Cooking roast beef from the round is lean and less tender. Those muscles are well exercised, so round cuts tends to be a bit tougher and leaner than cuts from the loin.  Round cuts do well if they're cooked with moist heat, and many of them can also be roasted, as long as they're not overcooked.

====== Brisket/Plate/Flank Primals ======
The underside of the animal is divided into the brisket/shank, the plate and the flank. The brisket is the front portion of the beef breast that lies between the front legs and takes well to smoking, braising, or poaching. The plate is rarely sold at store level and the flank is usually sold as steak. Other cuts include the flank steak, skirt steak, hanger steak and short ribs.
