The names of cuts of meat cattle in English vary depending on the region. We have created a list of translation of the most common types of beef cuts in English.
It is worth mentioning that beef cuts made in Brazil may be made differently in English-speaking countries. Some cuts do not exist and others are made differently. Picanha, for example, in English-speaking countries does not exist with the same cut as we have here.
In English there is tender meat and not tender meat, which represent, respectively, first meat and second meat.
