Steaks are on today’s agenda as we continue on with our barbecue oriented theme this summer. Here at Butchers Equipment Warehouse, we know that summer time is one of the busiest times of year for the butchery industry. With barbecue season well underway, your customers are already on the look out for tasty treats that they can bring to the table.

Steaks and summertime make for a winning combination, so you want to ensure that you’re producing the highest quality cuts for your customers. We can help you with that - we’re a well-established provider of a range of quality butchers knives, butchers machinery, and butchers accessories from trusted brands at unbeatable prices. Essentially, everything you need to produce the perfect steak cut! So, let’s get into the four of the very best ones that you can supply to your customers this summer.

Filet Mignon

This particular cut is a staple of white-tablecloth restaurants across the UK. The delightfully tender muscle provides a soft, buttery texture that melts in the mouth, which is surprising when you take into account the fact that the filet mignon is almost completely devoid of any fat. It’s the ideal choice for those who want a great steak experience that’s kinder on the waistline, but not quite the choice for those looking for the full, lip-smacking steak sensation.

Ribeye

The ribeye sits proudly above its rivals as one of the most prized cuts you can buy. Also known as the cowboy steak, this favourite of meat eaters everywhere comes either attached to the rib bone, or completely removed. The bone might make this cut a little bit more difficult to navigate with a knife and fork than its filet mignon counterpart, but the intense beefy flavour, coupled with the marbled fat within it, makes this cut the perfect choice for those that love nothing more than gnawing on a juicy, succulent piece of meat.

Sirloin steak

The sirloin has long served as the standard, jack-of-all-trades cut that’s often the safest bet when exploring a confusing restaurant menu. Cut from the large back muscle attached to the spine, opposite the long thin fillet steak, the sirloin offers a bit more chew and a little less marbling than some of its more expensive counterparts, but it still hits just the same spot when it comes to meaty pleasure.

T-bone steak

This is the grand finale to see out our list. The T-bone is essentially a filet mignon, coupled with a sirloin, that’s split down the middle by a large T-shaped bone. This means that you get the best of both of these delicious cuts, in one serving. It’s one impressively sized piece of meat that’s sure to satisfy the appetite of even the most prominent carnivore. As a side note - the T-bone is most often the steak you see depicted in cartoons, and believe us when we say that they truly taste as good as they look on television.

So, those are our top picks for the best steaks to include in your summer barbecue selection. Your customers deserve the best, and you can only give it to them by using the very best equipment.
