After and a lot of trial and error over the years, I think I’ve settled on how I like to get half a beef cut up. I’ve attached a screenshot of my meat sheet to this post.

The first few times we got bulk beef, I found that I ran out of mince/ground beef really quickly, and had heaps of other things left that I didn’t enjoy cooking with as much as I enjoy mince. Now I always get heaps of mince, and we usually get through that at the same rate as we get through everything else, and the freezer usually has a variety of cuts in it when we’re running low, rather than just the unpopular stuff.

How do you get your beef cut up? Do you have any favourite dishes that you always make whenever you get a half, whole, or quarter beef? Do you have any unloved cuts that always end up at the bottom of the freezer?
