 Updated May 13, 2008 Top Grilling Cuts Have you ever wondered which grilling cut was the most popular with people around the country? I found a report published by the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association that provides us with this important information. This particular report was published by Freshlook Marketing for the period 5/6/07 through 9/2/07 and outlined the Top 10 Grilling Cuts for the Western United States. The first thing you need to remember is that Ground Beef really leads the way by a vast majority and during the above mentioned time frame there were 64,614,214 units sold. This amount of Ground Beef does not include Meat Balls or Meat Loaf. Below is a recap of the Top 10 Grilling Cuts.
As you can see, Ribeye Steak either Bone-In or Boneless leads the way, Big Time. My personal favorite is the Top Loin Steak Boneless which actually comes in 5th and was less than a third of the Ribeye volume. Does the leading cut change if you look at the entire U.S.? What would you think? The answer is no. It is the same cut, but Boneless instead of Bone-In. In reality, the two Ribeye cuts just switch places. Another useful tidbit of information is that Ground Beef for the whole U.S. was 647,333,760 units. Now that’s a lot of Ground Beef! Whatever your favorite cut is, tonight is the night to Grill it for the family. Remember, "Beef, It’s What’s for Dinner." |
