However, understanding the cuts of meat included, as well as the process, makes it easier. A quarter cow typically equates to approximately 180 + pounds of meat, depending on the size of the animal. What Does a 1/2 Steer Include? When you buy a 1/2 steer, you will receive a variety of beef cuts. These typically include: Ground Beef: An essential staple in many kitchens, ground beef can be used in a range of recipes, from burgers to casseroles. Steaks: Expect cuts like ribeye, sirloin, and T-bone, each offering distinct flavors and textures. Roasts: These include cuts such as chuck roast and rump roast, perfect for slow-cooking and feeding a family. Short Ribs: Delicious and rich in flavor, short ribs are perfect for barbecuing and braising. The exact combination of cuts may vary but are fairly constant. Ribeye - A well-marbled steak that’s both tender and flavorful. Grilling, searing, or pan-frying. Sirloin - A versatile cut that is leaner than ribeye but still tender. Grilling or stir-frying. Chuck Roast - Perfect for slow cooking due to its rich flavor and fat content. Crockpot dishes or braising. Ground Beef - Made from various trimmings, it’s a favorite for many recipes. Burgers, tacos, and meatloaf. Brisket - Known for its toughness, but great when cooked low and slow. Barbecuing or smoking.
